In the following question, two columns are given, containing three phrases each. A phrase from the first column may or may not connect with a phrase from the second column to make a grammatically and contextually correct sentence. There are five options, four of which display the sequence(s) in which the phrases can be joined to form a correct sentence.

Answer
C-D
Why?
Let's join the sentences to give a contextually and grammatically meaningful sentence. The correct sequences are – A can join with E contextually but it is grammatically incorrect. ‘Uncovering’ is a gerund and the sentence needs the normal present tense verb ‘uncover’. F cannot join with any other parts as it is incorrect grammatically. ‘Although’ is used in front of a subject and verb. The correct word to use here is ‘in spite of’ or ‘despite’ which represents the contrast better. this negates all options with F in it C can join with D correctly in both contextual and grammatically manner. So, C-D. Only option 3 has the correct combination, making it the right answer.
