(C) When humans see the past histories of AI and robotics, human beings can examine and understand the objectives and intentions of them to make life easy and assist human beings within different circumstances and situations. (D) However, currently and in the near future, due to the change in the attitude of robotic and AI inventors and experts as well as based on the AI nature that their capacity of environmental acquisition and adaptation, they may become predators and put creatures at risk.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
In a sentence-rearrangement (para-jumble), the opening sentence is the one that can stand on its own without depending on anything said earlier. It introduces the central subject by its full name (not a pronoun), carries no back-referring word (this, they, also, however, thus), and sets up the idea the rest of the paragraph develops. Continuation and concluding sentences, by contrast, point back to something already mentioned.
Application
Test each candidate against that rule:
Artificial intelligence and robotics are very recent technologies and risks for our world names the subject in full, opens no reference to anything prior, and states the paragraph's core theme (AI/robotics as both technology and risk). It is self-contained, so it can lead.
The sentence beginning "They are developing their capacity..." opens with the pronoun "They", which needs an antecedent introduced earlier; it cannot start the paragraph.
The sentence beginning "They may also inherit the full nature of creatures" uses both the pronoun "They" and the additive word "also", marking it as a follow-up point, not an opener.
The sentence beginning "When humans see the past histories of AI and robotics..." already treats AI and robotics as established context, so it builds on a prior introduction.
The sentence beginning "Thus, finally they will create their new universe..." opens with the concluding connectors "Thus, finally", marking it as the closing line.
Cross-check
Only one sentence introduces the subject by its full name with no back-reference, while every other candidate starts with a pronoun or a connector (also / when / thus) that presupposes an earlier sentence. That uniquely fixes the opening line, and the paragraph then reads coherently from it: the theme is stated, developed, qualified, and concluded.
Result
The first sentence after rearrangement is "Artificial intelligence and robotics are very recent technologies and risks for our world."
