Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct order: the sentence listing the three services → the sentence mentioning supporting organisations and introducing inter-service commands → the sentence naming specific inter-service commands → the sentence stating the President is the Supreme Commander
Why this order creates a coherent paragraph:
Step 1: After the opening definition of the Indian Armed Forces, the next logical sentence should list the main components. The sentence that lists the three services (Indian Army, Indian Navy, Indian Air Force) naturally follows the definition.
Step 2: After listing the main services, the paragraph should describe additional supporting organisations and introduce inter-service commands and institutions. The sentence that begins with "Additionally..." and mentions the Indian Coast Guard, paramilitary organisations, and inter-service commands (for example the Strategic Forces Command) continues the descriptive flow.
Step 3: Specific examples of inter-service commands (the Andaman and Nicobar Command and the Integrated Defence Staff) belong after the sentence that introduces inter-service commands. Placing these examples immediately after that introducer keeps the paragraph coherent.
Step 4: The sentence stating that the President is the Supreme Commander is an institutional detail that fits before the final sentence about management by the Ministry of Defence, so it should come just before the closing sentence.
Conclusion: Placing the sentences in the content-based order described above produces a smooth progression from definition to components, to supporting organisations and examples, and finally to command and management details.
