Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

After the opener, A supplies the main clause 'it is imperative for sailors', followed by the purpose infinitive B 'to ensure safety,'. The parallel actions then follow: D 'find a sheltered anchorage, often in a port and' and C 'await better weather', all sharing the 'to' of B. The order is A, B, D, C.

Note: The NTA phrase reads 'impeative'; we have interpreted it as 'imperative', which appears to be the intended word.
