Correct option is A

Option (a) 2, 3, 1, 4 is the correct order of the given sentences.
Explanation (why this order is correct):
• 2 must come first because it introduces and defines food processing.
• 3 logically follows because “These methods” clearly refers to the methods mentioned in sentence 2 and gives examples (simple to complex).
• 1 comes next because it explains one major benefit of the process— food safety and prevention of contamination.
• 4 is best placed at the end because “Furthermore” adds an additional benefit as a concluding expansion (preservation, shelf life, nutrition).
