Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1) i.e. CBAD

  • C is the sentence that establishes the subject-matter. Hence, it will be the first sentence after rearrangement.
  • Sentence B gives us the casualty numbers which happened as a result of the explosion. Hence, B follows C.
  • Sentence A is the logical successor of Sentence B for it gives us what is known about the cause of the explosion which killed so many people as mentioned in Sentence B.
  • Sentence D follows A for it explains the effect of the sudden explosion in the country. 

Thus, the correct arrangement would be: CBAD.
