The correct answer is option 2) DABC.
D is the first statement as it acts as the introductory sentence for the subject of the paragraph. The actual subject 'symbols of the Indus Valley Civilization remaining undeciphered' is mentioned in sentence A. It talks more specifically on the subject and states how the fact mentioned in D is not true and it continues the sequence. Thus A follows D.
B is the third statement following A as the word 'this' mentioned in B refers to the culture Indus Valley Civilization which is mentioned in A.
The word 'them' refers to the inscriptions which are mentioned in B. Thus C closes the paragraph and is the fourth statement.
The correct arrangement is DABC.
