Answer 1

The correct option is C (a), (c)

Here, [a] and [c] are the two sentences that properly connect sentence 1 and 4 to form a coherent paragraph: Man relies on fruits and vegetables as foods which keep his body healthy. They are rich in minerals and vitamins. Some contain protein and starch and other useful things. Fruits are constantly being improved by careful selection and cultivation.

There is a proper flow and coherence to the sentences. Sentence [a] talks about the same topic introduced by sentence 1 and [c] is the only sentence that properly connects the rest to sentence 4.
