Explanation:

Correct option - 1
On looking at the given sentences, we observe that it is based on how people judge each other by their skin, gender, etc. Similarly, trees are also being judged by such characteristics and considered which tree is dispensable(which can be replaced) and which is indispensable. So, the 1st sentence should be B since it gives the general view of the passage. Since several parameters are shown in B, among which the most important parameter is the judgement of a person based on whether he is a native or foreigner. That is further stressed upon in A. Thus, A is the 2nd sentence, i.e. BA. Now, a similarity of judging trees on the same parameters is shown in C. Thus, C is the 3rd sentence, i.e. BAC. So, an example of judging of trees on such a parameter is shown in E. Thus, E is the 4th sentence, i.e. BACE. Hence, the last(fifth) sentence is D. Thus, the correct sequence is BACED.
Option 1 i.e. A is the correct answer.
