The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BACD.
- B is the sentence that establishes the subject matter. Hence, it'll be the first sentence after rearrangement.
- Sentence A starts with 'this' which refers to the fact mentioned in B. Hence, A follows B.
- Sentence C is the logical successor of A as it defines 'pandemic'.
- Sentence D starts with 'but' which gives a contradictory fact to the statement mentioned in C. So, D follows C.
