It's between B and D. 
I think it's D. Subject should be as close as possible to the verb. 
Will explain in detail if D is the OA.

Ashwin_Mohan · Answer

It should be B, but I can't say what's wrong with A either.

Is it wrong to say

Relief for X came from Y?

B has

For X, relief came from Y

where relief correctly modifies X.

aaron kindly post in the detailed explanation of subject verb placing in a sentence.

Relief for X came from Y? ->This sounds awkward since relief and came are seperated.

Im not able to eliminate between the below given scenarios :

1)For X, relief came from Y
 
2)relief came for X from Y

which one is better?

Tough one and different.

What is the requirement that needs Subject and verb to be together or in sequence?

Looking for more explanation
