The correct answer is option 2) i.e. DCAB

  • D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject of the passage - 'the International Labour Organization'.
  • C further provides information about ILO like when it was founded, whereas A provides information about its member states. Chronologically, C should come before A. So, CA is a pair. 
  • After the above arrangement, B can be placed in fourth place.
