Solution :

To arrange the sentences in the correct logical order, let us analyze the connections and flow of information between them:

1. Sentence B serves as the ideal opening sentence. It introduces the main subject of the paragraph: the adoption of our national flag, "Tiranga" (meaning tricolour), by the constituent assembly on 22nd July 1947.
2. Sentence C logically follows Sentence B. The pronoun "it" in C refers back to the national flag (Tiranga) introduced in B. It adds historical and symbolic context by stating that as a symbol of nationalism and freedom, it is made from domestically spun Indian cotton (khadi).
3. Sentence D then continues describing the physical appearance and structure of the flag introduced in B and C, stating that "It features three horizontal stripes that are all the same width."
4. Sentence A naturally follows D to elaborate on the details of these horizontal stripes. It explains the significance of the first stripe: "The top band is made of saffron, which symbolises power and courage."

Combining these observations, the correct logical sequence of the sentences is B-C-D-A.

Therefore, the correct option is BCDA.
