Option 1 (D), (B), (C), (A) -> Places (C) before (A), breaking the logical flow "are but the first tardy awakening..."
Option 2 (A), (B), (D), (C) -> Starts with (A) which is incomplete on its own and creates grammatical confusion with (B).
Option 3 (D), (B), (A), (C) -> Creates: "The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill organized society and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening of the conscience of a robber" - grammatically correct and logically coherent.
Option 4 (A), (C), (D), (B) -> Leaves (B) dangling at the end with "and," creating an incomplete sentence.
Hence, Option 3: (D), (B), (A), (C) -> This arrangement forms a complete philosophical statement where (D) establishes the main premise, (B) completes the first clause, while (A) and (C) together form the second clause describing public charities. The sentence flows logically from cause (poverty as proof of injustice) to effect (charities as conscience awakening). -> correct
