The easiest pair to identify in this question is DB. The author talks about Bush dealing with Congress in all the three statements. Logically we have statement A following the pair DB. EC is clearly a pair. Statement C talks about restoring power to presidency. The combination DBA explains how Bush was doing so. Therefore, we have statement C coming before combination DBA.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
