Correct answer: C
Solving a sentence-rearrangement (para-jumble) passage means finding the one sentence that can stand alone as an opening statement, then following back-references — pronouns like 'it' and linking words like 'therefore' — to chain the remaining sentences into a single logical argument that ends with the conclusion.
Sentence (B) makes a complete, self-contained claim — that frequent use of power is never desirable in a democracy — with no pronoun pointing outside itself, so it is the only sentence that can open the passage.
Sentence (D) opens with the pronoun 'It', which must refer back to something already named; the only earlier candidate is the 'frequent use of power' introduced in (B), and (D) states one consequence of that: it destroys stability and security in public life.
Sentence (A) also opens with 'It', pointing to the same antecedent from (B), and adds a second, distinct consequence: it gives rise to a feeling of animosity among different sections of society.
Sentence (C) opens with 'Therefore', marking it as the summarizing conclusion that follows from the two consequences just laid out in (D) and (A) — that citizens should never resort to violent ways and means, though they may oppose the government.
Reading the sentences in the order B → D → A → C produces one coherent argument — premise, first consequence, second consequence, conclusion — confirming this is the correct sequence: BDAC.
