Hint: A sentence does not start with a conjunction. A sentence that has a linker at the beginning of it requires it to be preceded by another sentence in order to form the link

Complete step-by-step answer:

From the hint given to us, we know that a sentence does not start with a conjunction, which has no other sentence preceding it. A sentence that has a linker at the beginning of it requires it to be preceded by another sentence in order to form the link. We shall be analyzing all the sequences that have been given to us in the options, in order to find the logical sequence.
A first sentence should not have a demonstrative pronoun as it has no source of reference. Thus, we can say that options ‘a’ and ‘c’ are not the correct answers. ‘This’ is a demonstrative pronoun that is used to refer to something that has been mentioned before. However, in these options, this comes at the beginning of the first sentence and has nothing to refer back to.
We already know from the hint given to us that conjunction cannot be used at the beginning of a sentence, that has no other sentence preceding it. We observe that in option ‘b’ ‘so’ is used at the beginning of the sentence. ‘So’ in conjunction. Hence, we can say that option ‘b’ is not the correct answer
We observe that sentence 1 is a logical sentence, to begin with as it gives us our subject of discussion. Hence, option ‘d’ is the correct answer.

Note: It is important to understand the structure of the sentences in order to arrange the sentences logically.
