Correct Answer: DCAB


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The paragraph starts with sentence D , which tells about the requirement of highly specialised techniques to produce Wootz steel.

Sentence C provides a contrast to sentence D, which states that iron smelting was extremely common in India till the end of the nineteenth century.

The idea of sentence C is further explained in sentence A , which states that every district in Bihar and Central India used local deposits of ore to produce iron.

The paragraph concludes with sentence B, which is the extension of sentence A that smelting was done by men while women worked on the bellows pumping air that kept the charcoal burning.
