The plural noun 'fingers' doesn't fit in its position as it renders the sentence meaningless; it makes the sentence meaningful when placed in the second position. The noun 'variety' fits perfectly in the fourth position in contextual terms. The phrase 'variety of something' is very common to express a different type of something. So, B and D should be interchanged to form a coherent sentence. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer. The correct sentence is: Raccoons also have quick paws and long fingers that they can use both to grab prey and to reach a variety of fruits and other plant products.
