Solution
Option 1: (A), (D), (C), (B) -> Starts with "vitamins or minerals..." which lacks proper introduction and context.
Option 2: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Begins with defining dietary supplements, continues with examples, explains their purpose, and ends with what they cannot replace - flows logically.
Option 3: (C), (A), (B), (D) -> Places "healthy eating, exercising..." before "substitute for," breaking the logical connection.
Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Incorrectly places healthy habits right after defining supplements, disrupting the sentence structure.
Hence, Option 2: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> This creates the complete sentence: "Dietary supplements are substances like chemicals, plant extracts, vitamins or minerals that you take in addition to your regular meals to boost immunity and get other benefits, but they are hardly a substitute for healthy eating, exercising and abstaining from harmful activities." The sequence properly defines dietary supplements (C), provides examples (A), states their purpose with a contrast (D), and concludes with what they cannot replace (B). -> correct
