D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. The introduction of the passage defines hunting. The next sentence talks about the historical significance of hunting. The next sentence in the sequence then talks about the present day use of hunting. The next sentence in this sequence is then carrying forward more information about present day hunting. The second part of sentence R is a direct inference for the sentence S. Then, the next sentence is logically placed before the last sentence as the last sentence discusses natural checks in an environment and the one preceding it has introduced this topic by saying that hunting can also be a means of pest control. Thus, all the sentences follow each other in a logical sequence.
