Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (D), (C), (A), (B) -> Forms: "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living that seeks to eliminate as far as possible and practicable, animal exploitation and cruelty, promoting animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans, and the environment" - grammatically correct and logically flows from definition → purpose → method → beneficiaries.
Option 2: (D), (A), (B), (C) -> Creates awkward structure where "seeks" is followed directly by "exploitation and cruelty" (implying veganism seeks these things), and ends with incomplete phrase "animal."
Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> Starts with prepositional phrase "for the benefit of..." without establishing subject, creates fragmented and illogical sequence.
Option 4: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Begins with infinitive "to eliminate" before introducing the subject "veganism," making the sentence grammatically incomplete and awkward.
Hence, Option 1: (D), (C), (A), (B) -> This arrangement properly introduces veganism as the subject, explains its core objective (eliminating animal exploitation), describes its method (promoting alternatives), and concludes with the beneficiaries, creating a coherent and grammatically sound sentence that accurately defines veganism -> correct
