B. When both sister are rejoined, the sister on earth will be younger than the sister on the spacecraft because she will age normally
C. When the sisters are brought together the sister from the spacecraft will be younger because the lack of gravity in space prevents aging
D. When the sisters are brought together the sister on Earth will be younger, because living at high speed tends to age people
E. When the sisters are rejoined the sister from the spacecraft will be younger because it was she who experienced a change in velocity.
