BEDAC. The paragraph is about cash transaction & electronic transaction. Out of ‘A’ & ‘B’, ‘B’ seems to be the best opening sentence. ‘E’ follows ‘B’ as it continues the discussion. Next comes ‘D’, ‘Traditional money’ in ‘D’, it is talking ‘money’ discussed in ‘E’. ‘A’ takes the discussion further about the electronic transaction ( the discussion was started in ‘D’). ‘C’ then sums up the paragraph.
