The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Correct Sentence Sequence 

Final Sentence:

People with a high BMI and a genetic predisposition to obesity have a lower risk of heart disease compared to people whose extra weight is related to environmental and lifestyle factors alone.

Correct Sequence:

(B) → (A) → (D) → (C) – ✔ Option 3

Explanation of Each Segment:

  • (B): Begins with the subject – “People with a high BMI and a genetic predisposition to obesity...”
  • (A): Introduces the key finding – “have a lower risk of heart disease...”
  • (D): Creates a comparison – “compared to people whose extra weight...”
  • (C): Completes the thought – “is related to environmental and lifestyle factors alone.”

Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:

  • (A), (B), (C), (D): ✖️ Begins with a verb phrase without a subject, causing confusion.
  • (A), (C), (B), (D): ✖️ Jumbles logical flow; causes a mismatch in clause relationships.
  • (C), (B), (D), (A): ✖️ Starts with a dependent clause; lacks context and clarity upfront.

Summary:

The sentence logically begins with the subject group (people with genetic predisposition and high BMI), continues with the health outcome (lower risk), then compares them with another group (those affected by environmental/lifestyle factors). This flow is preserved only in Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C).
