The correct answer is

2-1-3-4

The passage describes the process of breaking bad habits. We identify the topic sentence and the logical flow.

Identifying the opener:

Sentence 2 ("Breaking bad habits requires discipline and self-awareness") is the topic sentence — a general thesis that the rest of the passage elaborates.

Building the chain:

2 → 1: The phrase "the first step" in sentence 1 explicitly cues that it follows the topic sentence — it begins the procedure.

1 → 3: After recognising patterns (step 1), seeking external support is the next practical action.

3 → 4: The closing sentence emphasises that consistency in applying new behaviours produces lasting change — a fitting conclusion.

Correct order: 2 – 1 – 3 – 4 (topic → recognise patterns → seek support → maintain consistency).

Hence the correct option is (A) 2-1-3-4.
