I agree with you @Avisek. The answer must be option D.

The answer must be D. Because it does not make sense why the lexicographer first arrange the citation slips and then the dictionary makers make a note of citation slips. Its absurd.

As everyone seems to be saying, the answer must be D and not D.
Proof :- S says - The realm goes on from hearing to writing.
Which simply means the word is heard first and then written.

I guess answer is D not A. Answer A doesn't make any sense.
