The actual past-year paper says "live" in (D) instead of "lives". The question was not dropped by NTA. The same answer-key followed (option 3). Please don't come @ us, kya hi kare bhai NTA esse ka hai?
Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> This creates the logical sequence: "Despite the advancements in technology, many people still struggle to balance their personal lives with their professional commitments, often leading to stress and burnout." The sentence flows naturally with proper cause-and-effect structure.
(B) introduces the contrasting context about technological advancement,
(A) continues with the subject and main problem,
(D) completes the struggle being described (balancing personal lives with professional commitments),
(C) concludes with the consequence of this imbalance.
This arrangement creates a grammatically correct and logically coherent sentence. -> correct
