Two sentences A and B start with a noun 'Girls', C with a pronoun 'they' and D with a noun, gerund, 'imparting'.  No option starts with C. Two options start with A and one each with B and D. The words 'in this way' in A and 'for this reason' in D show that these have their reference in some previous sentence. First sentence should be B. So answer is the only option starting with B, 4. BCAD. This combination can be checked for its correctness.)
