Opening sentence is 'A' which introduces the topic of discussion of the above complete paragraph. Then comes the sentence 'D' which discusses the previous decisions of Narendra Modi on Planning Commission and expectations from the 'NITI Aayog'. Sentence 'B' follows 'D' which tells about the five year plans related to planning commission and the new three action plan. Sentence 'C' tells the next step of these 3 year plans with 7 year strategy that would in turn help realise a 15-year long-term vision. Sentence 'E' concludes the paragraph with the outcome of NITI Aayog's meeting. Don't get confused with 'E' after 'D', as it would not satisfy the next sentences of the paragraph.
