In the following questions, the sentence/passage is

Solution

The sentence requires a coherent progression from cause to consequence. The noun phrase “the increasing frequency of climate-induced disasters” functions as the logical subject and must initiate the sentence.  This is followed by the finite verb phrase “has exposed the limitations of growth-centric models,” which establishes the central claim.  The relative clause “that prioritize economic expansion over resilience” appropriately modifies “growth-centric models,” refining their characterization. Finally, the participial phrase “thereby compelling policymakers to rethink development strategies” completes the sentence by articulating the resultant implication. Thus, the correct sequence is B–A–C–D, making option (a) the correct answer.
