Correct Answer: BDCA


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

The paragraph starts with sentence B, which tells us that men became interested in biological origins due to the popularisation of Charles Darwin's concept of evolution. The interest is further talked about in sentence D as it follows the natural flow. Sentence C comes third as it tells us that the interest shifted to the problem of man's ontogenetic origins, and sentence D further tells us about Mendel's laws.
