Explanation:

- B sets the stage by introducing the ancient ruins in the jungle of southern Mexico.

- D provides context about Calakmul's significance as a superpower with another civilization.

- A elaborates on the population and extent of the kingdom.

- C gives specific archaeological details about the structures found in the city, emphasizing Structure 2.

Let's evaluate the options:

- Option 1: BDAC – This order logically introduces the city, its historical importance, elaborates on its demographics, and finishes with archaeological details. This sequence offers a coherent historical narrative.

- Option 2: BCDA – Starting with the introduction, it jumps to archaeological details, then historical significance, and lastly demographics. This disrupts the narrative flow.

- Option 3: ACDB – Begins with demographics, lacks context, then the introduction, archaeological details, and historical significance.

- Option 4: DBCA – Begins with historical significance but lacks the essential introduction. Moves to demographics, followed by the introduction, and concludes with archaeological details.

Given this analysis, the most logical and coherent order is Option 1: BDAC.
