Correct option is B

Option (b) dcba is the correct order of the given parts.
Explanation of the Correct Sequence:
The correct sentence formed is:
“Ironically, inspite of decline in poverty, the number of jobless people has been increasing steadily.”
Step-by-step grammatical and logical explanation:
· (d) “ironically,”
· This is an introductory adverb that sets the tone of contradiction or surprise. Such discourse markers generally come at the beginning of the sentence.
· (c) “inspite of decline in poverty,”
· This is a prepositional phrase expressing contrast. It logically follows “ironically” and prepares the reader for an unexpected situation.
· (b) “the number of jobless people”
· This part acts as the subject of the sentence and must come before the verb phrase.
· (a) “has been increasing steadily”
· This is the predicate in Present Perfect Continuous tense, correctly placed after the subject to complete the sentence meaningfully.
