Which of the following most logically completes the passage?
Both silvicultural clearcutting and commercial clearcutting involve removing a high percentage of trees from a forested area. Silvicultural clearcutting involves removing nearly every tree from the area in order to create an environment suitable for a species to regenerate after the trees are removed. However, commercial clearcutting is usually not as extensive, because.
(A) removing all the trees from an area does not always create an environment in which a species can regenerate.
(B) other forested areas are subject to the silvicultural method, ensuring that species will regenerate in other locations.
(C) commercial clearcutting typically takes place in much larger areas, and is more common in developing countries.
(D) forested areas that are commercially clearcut are not home to species that are as environmentally important as those in areas that are silviculturally clearcut.
(E) the goal of commercial clearcutting is to remove only commercially valuable trees, and not every tree fits that description.

Silvicultural clearcutting involves removing nearly every tree from the area in order to create an environment suitable for a species to regenerate after the trees are removed. However, commercial clearcutting is usually not as extensive, because.
(A) removing all the trees from an area does not always create an environment in which a species can regenerate.
It doesn’t address the conclusion statement why commercial clear cutting is not extensive.
(B) other forested areas are subject to the silvicultural method, ensuring that species will regenerate in other locations.
Fails to address the conclusion.
(C) commercial clearcutting typically takes place in much larger areas, and is more common in developing countries.
no where in the passage is a comparison between developing countries or developed or any phrase mentioning country is seen.
(D) forested areas that are commercially clearcut are not home to species that are as environmentally important as those in areas that are silviculturally clearcut.
Another option which is completely irrelevant
(E) the goal of commercial clearcutting is to remove only commercially valuable trees, and not every tree fits that description.
This directly addresses the reason why commercial clearcutting is less extensive—it’s driven by the desire to remove only trees that have commercial value, rather than clearcutting an entire area. Hence option E

E should be the answer.
The author is trying to differentiate between silvicultural clearcutting and commercial clearcutting. However, author says Commercial clearcutting doesn't involve complete removal of every tree and it is not extensive:
Now evaluating options which can confer with the above assertion:
(A) removing all the trees from an area does not always create an environment in which a species can regenerate.
commercial clearcutting isn't talking for any specie. Eliminate
(B) other forested areas are subject to the silvicultural method, ensuring that species will regenerate in other locations.
It can be subjected to Commercial clearcutting. Eliminate.
(C) commercial clearcutting typically takes place in much larger areas, and is more common in developing countries.
Passage doesn't talk for developing countries. Eliminate
(D) forested areas that are commercially clearcut are not home to species that are as environmentally important as those in areas that are silviculturally clearcut.
The option should specify why it wasn't extensive, rather it draws comparison which isn't in context. Eliminate
(E) the goal of commercial clearcutting is to remove only commercially valuable trees, and not every tree fits that description.
It clarifies for commercial clearcutting and why it isn't extensive. Hence correct answer.
