Option 1 : BCAD

Since the first part of the paragraph is already given to us, it becomes easy to find the next part as it would link to the first. Similarly, we will keep linking the given parts to form a coherent paragraph.

After reading these parts we come to know that the paragraph is about ‘cases of Zika virus’. Since part 1 is not complete, only part A/part B could be used to make it a complete sentence. Part A cannot follow part 1 as ‘in’ cannot appear twice at the same place. Hence part B will follow part 1. Since part D forms a link with 6th part, it will become the fifth part. The remaining two parts, part C and A will thus become the third and fourth part of the sentence.

Thus, the coherent paragraph is- ‘With 80 laboratory-confirmed cases of the Zika virus already in Jaipur, including 22 pregnant women, the latest outbreak is India’s most severe so far. In January 2017, three confirmed cases of Zika were reported from Ahmedabad, including a pregnant woman, in July the same year a single case was reported from Tamil Nadu’s Krishnagiri district. Unlike in the case of the Ahmedabad outbreak that was kept under wraps by the Health Ministry, there has been more transparency in the last two instances’.

Hence, the correct order of sentences is BCAD and the correct answer is option 1.
