The correct answer is option 3) i.e. BADC.
Explanation
- Here sentence 'B' and sentence 'C' begin with a noun. Sentence 'B' is independent of any other sentences. Hence 'B' is the first sentence.
- The first part of the sentence 'A' ‘NHRC’ links to the last part of sentence 'B' ‘the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has told the United Nations’ as an explanation. Hence 'A' follows 'B'.
- The ‘report’ explained in the sentence 'D' was ‘submitted’ in sentence 'A'. Hence 'D' follows 'A'.
- The first part of sentence 'C' ‘The government has focused cash transfer schemes aimed at farmers, especially’ links to the last part of the sentence 'D' ‘Universal basic income (UBI) refers to periodic cash transfers to every citizen’.
- Hence, 'C' makes the last sentence.
