Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2) i.e., 'DCBA'.

When arranging sentences, it is easier to order the first few; and then eliminate the options accordingly.
The first sentence of a paragraph is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it.
Here, only C and B are independent and introduce a topic related to the American river system. So, we look at their inter-relation.
Out of these two, only D is truly independent while C provides more information about one of the rivers in the 'river system' introduced by D.
So, C must come after D. Then DC is the correct order.
This order is shown by both options 2 and 4 so, we need to look into the placements of A and B.
A and B begin with however (an adverb) and but (a conjunction).
But introduces a sentence that states an opposite viewpoint to what has been stated before.
• Since C states that the Rio Grande is an important river, it should be followed by B which states that it is not used for shipping despite its importance.
So, B must come after C. Then DCB is the correct order.
• This order is shown in option 2, which shows the full sequence as: DCBA.
Thus, the correct sequence is: DCBA
