Solution

Option A is the correct answer. The correct order is D, A, C, B.

Sentence D sets the context by introducing the year 2009 and its major events (national and state elections). Sentence A follows logically, detailing specific political events that occurred during the elections. Sentence C, starting with "It also", adds other notable events that happened in the same year. Sentence B concludes by summarising that these events provided enough material for Khushwant Singh to comment on various topics.
