Trigger

  1. A triggered ability is an ability that’s caused by a specified game action. They’re usually written in the
    form "When [something happens] -> [effect]." The effect happens just after the specified game action is
    taken. For example, many characters have triggered abilities that start with "When you flip to this
    mode." The effects of these abilities happen immediately after you flip the character to the appropriate
    mode.
  2. Triggered abilities always happen one at a time. If all the triggered abilities belong to one player, that
    player chooses their order. If both players have triggered abilities that would happen at the same time,
    first the player whose turn it is handles all their triggered abilities in any order, then the other player
    does the same with their triggered abilities.
  3. Yes. You choose which to use one at a time.
  4. Assuming you chose B as the first one, you can then choose A, C, D, or E.

    Note that Wizards of the Coast changed this with the Expanded Rules 2.0. When a nested trigger occurs, you put any unresolved triggers aside, resolve the new ones, and then go back to the triggers you put aside. So in the example above, it would be, assuming B first: B, then D/E, then A/C.
