Explanation:

- D: This sentence introduces the setting and the main character, a man living in a village.

- A: Follows logically as it describes the man's habit of stealing food, which sets up the conflict.

- B: Villagers' reaction to his habit provides the consequence of his actions.

- C: The result of the villagers' plan, showing the outcome of the story.

Here is the analysis of options:

- Option 1 (DABC): Presents the story in a logical sequence; starts with the setting and introduces the problem, followed by the villagers' plan and its outcome.

- Option 2 (ABDC): Jumps into the man's habit without setting the scene, which disrupts the narrative flow.

- Option 3 (ACDB): Does not follow the chronological order of events, leading to confusion.

- Option 4 (BACD): Presents the villagers' action before the introduction of the man, which is not coherent.

The Answer is Option 1: DABC
