Solution

The correct option is B ABCD
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It should not be a continuation or extension of a topic.
A is first in the sequence: A introduces anew topic. It says that substantial genetic continuity does not guarantee profound shifts in culture.
A is followed by B: B continues A's point. It says that it is common to observe cultural change with little or no biological change in population.
B is followed by C: C provides an example for the point made by B. It says that many people since Roman times have thought of themselves as 'British'.
C is followed by D: D further continues the example. It says that the 'British' identity was only created in 1707.
Thus, the correct sequence is A B C D. Hence, B is the correct option.
