Correct Answer <p>The HR&amp;CE Department is demanding a fair probe into cases of missing idols. </p>

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. The HR&CE Department is demanding a fair probe into cases of missing idols. 

Option 1 can be rejected as it is not linked with the sentences provided in the question. It is not a conclusion and leaves the reader unanswered to the fact that why the Idol Wing is overstepping its brief?

Option 3 can also be eliminated as it introduces a new entity, ‘Crime Branch CID’ which is nowhere evident from the information provided.

Option 4 can be eliminated as no information regarding who ‘R. Jaya’ is, is not evident and thus, makes the context incomplete.

Option 5 can also be eliminated as it is very narrow and does not cover the main idea of ‘missing idols’.

Thus, only option 2 captures the essence of the statements and looks as the most appropriate answer choice.

Thus, the sentences can be structured as,
