Explanation:

Let's examine the sentences in detail to form a coherent paragraph:

- (D): "Changing climate has transformed the time spring unfolds in front of us." - This sets the stage, introducing the effect of climate on seasonal changes.

- (E): "Spring, for example, arrived earlier than usual in Kashmir this year due to higher temperatures in February and March." - Provides a specific example of climate impact on spring, logically following (D).

- (A): "Bud-break — which is when trees leaf out — has undergone a change." - Connects the earlier spring to changes in plant behavior, making it the third sentence.

- (C): "Several trees initiate bud-break too early or too late, which affects the harvest." - Further explains the issue caused by altered bud-break timings.

- (B): "This is why understanding the genetics of bud-break helps scientists modify or select crop varieties that can be more resilient to the climate threat." - Concludes with the importance of genetics research in addressing the issue.

Therefore, the second sentence after rearrangement is (E): "Spring, for example, arrived earlier than usual in Kashmir this year due to higher temperatures in February and March."

- Answer: The correct option is:

- Option 5: E (Spring arrived earlier than usual in Kashmir...)

- This sentence logically follows after explaining the climate change effects.
