Key Points

• The given question is an example of a Para Jumble.
• We know that the first statement of a para jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting off a story, starting of an incident or an event, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
• Sentence C should be used first because this sentence provides the definition of an omnivore and sets the context for the rest of the paragraph.
• After Sentence C, Sentence A should be used because this sentence provides more information about omnivores.
• Sentence D should be used next because this sentence adds to the idea of omnivores being able to thrive on diverse food sources.
• Lastly, Sentence B will be used because this sentence provides further information on the sub-categories of omnivores based on their dietary habits.
• The order of the sentences in Option 3 creates a logical flow of ideas that builds on the definition of omnivores and their ability to obtain energy and nutrients from diverse sources. It then goes on to provide more specific information on the sub-categories of omnivores.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
