Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the DDC main class number for each subject. \[\begin{array}{rl} \bullet & \text{(A) Metaphysics: A branch of Philosophy, located in the 100s (specifically 110).} \\ \bullet & \text{(C) The Bible: The sacred text of Christianity, located in the 200s (specifically 220).} \\ \bullet & \text{(D) Statistics: General statistics are placed in the 300s (specifically 310).} \\ \bullet & \text{(B) Law: A field within Social Sciences, located in the 300s (specifically 340).} \\ \end{array}\]

Step 2: Arrange the subjects in increasing order of their DDC class numbers. The numerical order is 100s, 200s, 310s, 340s.

Step 3: Match the numbers to the subjects. The correct sequence is Metaphysics (A), The Bible (C), Statistics (D), and Law (B). The correct order is (A), (C), (D), (B).
