Solution
Option 1: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> "his right hand against his forehead ceremonial salutation in which the courtier placed the palm of 'Kornish' was the form of" - grammatically incorrect and fragmented.
Option 2: (A), (D), (C), (B) -> "the courtier placed the palm of 'Kornish' was the form of his right hand against his forehead ceremonial salutation in which" - illogical sequence with misplaced phrases.
Option 3: (D), (B), (A), (C) -> "'Kornish' was the form of ceremonial salutation in which the courtier placed the palm of his right hand against his forehead" - creates a complete, grammatically correct sentence that defines Kornish.
Option 4: (B), (C), (D), (A) -> "ceremonial salutation in which his right hand against his forehead 'Kornish' was the form of the courtier placed the palm of" - fragmented and lacks coherence.
Hence, Option 3: (D), (B), (A), (C) -> The sentence properly introduces 'Kornish' as the subject, defines it as a form of ceremonial salutation, and then describes the specific action (placing the palm of the right hand against the forehead) that constitutes this salutation -> correct
