The first sentence introduces us to the idea of the practice of dowry and also says why it is not easy to 'drive out' this practice. Sentence A follows as it says that this practice is on the decline and the last sentence follows with the idea that the practice might become 'defunct' during our life time. Statements B and C are the factors that account for the decline of this practice which can follow the last statement. Hence the given two sentences along with statement A alone can make a coherent and meaningful paragraph.
