The correct answer is option 1, i. e. DCBA.
- D is the first sentence because it introduces the main subject of the passage - 'Cement'.
- C has to follow D because it gives the reason why cement is called "a binder" (mentioned in D).
- Now, B introduces the word 'concrete', and its usage is explained in A. So, A should follow B, and BA is a pair.
