Solution
Option 1: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> "has risen to" would be followed by "proving" which breaks the grammatical flow.
Option 2: (A), (B), (D), (C) -> Starting with (A) and placing (B) after "has risen to" creates an illogical sequence.
Option 3: (B), (C), (D), (A) -> This arrangement leaves the sentence incomplete and grammatically incorrect with (A) at the end.
