Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) to form a coherent paragraph, then answer the question.

(A) Furthermore, because this rogue planet does not emit any light of its own, locating it represents a major scientific breakthrough.
(B) Researchers estimate that there are about 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, but almost all of them are invisible.
(C) A recently published paper reveals that the nearest free-floating planet discovered is located only 1,560 light-years from Earth, a new study reports.
(D) Although this particular world is the closest rogue planet detected so far, it is highly unlikely to be the nearest one in existence.
(E) This wandering body, designated Rogue-9, is about 10 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits a dwarf star.

Which of the following will be the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement?

Correct Option: D

To find the fourth sentence of the coherent paragraph, let us analyze the logical flow and connections between the given sentences:

1. Sentence (C) introduces the main topic of the paragraph: the discovery of a paper revealing the nearest free-floating (rogue) planet located 1,560 light-years from Earth.
"A recently published paper reveals that the nearest free-floating planet discovered is located only 1,560 light-years from Earth, a new study reports." - This serves as the opening statement (1st sentence).

2. Sentence (E) follows by providing specific details about "This wandering body" introduced in sentence (C), giving its designation (Rogue-9) and physical details.
"This wandering body, designated Rogue-9, is about 10 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits a dwarf star." - This is the 2nd sentence.

3. Sentence (A) expands on why finding Rogue-9 is significant ("locating it represents a major scientific breakthrough") because rogue planets do not emit light.
"Furthermore, because this rogue planet does not emit any light of its own, locating it represents a major scientific breakthrough." - This is the 3rd sentence.

4. Sentence (D) provides a qualification regarding Rogue-9's status as the "closest rogue planet detected so far".
"Although this particular world is the closest rogue planet detected so far, it is highly unlikely to be the nearest one in existence." - This is the 4th sentence.

5. Sentence (B) logically concludes by explaining why it is unlikely to be the nearest: because researchers estimate there are 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, almost all of which are invisible.
"Researchers estimate that there are about 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, but almost all of them are invisible." - This is the 5th sentence.

Complete Sequence: C - E - A - D - B

Therefore, the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement is sentence (D).
