Answer & solution

Answer: 4312

Sentence 4 opens by defining beacons: tiny, cheap devices that send radio signals to nearby Bluetooth devices.

Sentence 3 explains how they work: smartphones pick up the signals, and distance is estimated from signal strength.

Sentence 1 shows their spread: many sectors now use 'these beacons solutions'.

Sentence 2 gives a specific example from retail: a beacon on a shop wall allows personalised offers.

Shortcut: definition (4) → working (3) → general use (1) → example (2). 'These beacons' in 1 needs beacons to be introduced first.

Hence, the answer is 4312.
