This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

CADB

Sentence C introduces the topic by naming "Zuni" and the "Zuni tribes" — the natural opener. A follows because "These tribes" and "this language" refer directly back to C. D then comments on the remarkable preservation of "these tribes" and "their language". B concludes by classifying "such a language" as an "isolated" language. Hence the order is CADB.
