Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step-by-step Analysis:
• Phrase (A) contains the subject: “most roads and routes across Delhi NCR” Therefore, it is a natural opening phrase.
• Phrase (B) contains the main verb: “appeared as a crimson streak on real-time traffic maps” Thus, it should follow the subject.
• Phrase (D): “indicating high traffic volume” explains what the crimson streak signifies. Therefore, it naturally follows phrase (B).
• Phrase (C): “and increased travel time” presents the consequence of heavy traffic and should appear at the end.
• Combining all phrases gives: “Most roads and routes across Delhi NCR appeared as a crimson streak on real-time traffic maps, indicating high traffic volume and increased travel time.” This sentence is grammatically complete and logically meaningful. Hence, the correct sequence is: \[ (A)\rightarrow(B)\rightarrow(D)\rightarrow(C) \]
