F.Yameen is seeking a second five-year term in the Indian Ocean archipelago known for its sun-kissed tourist beaches and diving.
G.The center, using publicly available information, estimates China’s loans to the Maldives at $1.3 billion – more than a quarter of its annual gross domestic product.
D is the first statement as mentioned in the question. B follows D as it talks about the infrastructure activities. A is the third statement as it talks about anticipated China’s purpose of doing these projects. F is the fourth statement as mentioned. C follows F as the ‘his’ in C refers to ‘Yameen.’ Both the sentences talk about terrorism in the region. G has to follow E as the name of the center has been mentioned in E.

The SEVENTH statement is G.
