Question

A) In the South African deer, the posterior division of the main fork divides into three tines, with no distinct flattening.

B) The male's antlers arise as cylindrical beams projecting on each side at right angles to the midline of the skull, which after a short distance divide in a fork-like manner.

C) The lower prong of this fork may be either simple, or divided into two or three tines, with some flattening.

D) There is, however, a Scandinavian breed of the common deer in which the antlers are simpler, and recall those of the East African race.

E) In the common deer, on the other hand, this branch usually expands into a broad palmation, with one large tine at the base, and a number of smaller snags on the free border.

Solution

The correct structure of the paragraph should be like this - B talks about a fork-like structure in the male antlers, C elaborates on the fork saying it may have 2 or 3 prongs, A gives an example of a 3 pronged fork, E by using 'on the other hand' should follow after A. D should follow after E because it is a variation of the 'common deer' mentioned in E.
Hence, the correct answer is BCAED.
