Answer 1

The correct sequence is as follows:

(c) $\to$ (b) $\to$ (a) $\to$ (d)

Increasing population create demand for construction of houses, shops, offices, roads and pavements (c). This decreases the open areas like parks and playgrounds (b), which in turn decreases the seepage of rainwater into the ground (a). This result in depletion of water table and creates scarcity of more water (d).
