- Sentence C establishes the subject matter i.e. the various ways through which information can and has been stored. Hence, it will be the first sentence after rearrangement.
- A follows C because in C, we talk about the two modes 'speech' and 'writing'. The third mode is introduced in sentence 'A'.
- B connects with A through 'however' which is used to introduce something that contrasts with what is previously said.
- D is the concluding sentence of the paragraph as it talks about the 'fourth information revolution'.
Thus, the correct arrangement would be: CABD
