this is kind of a tricKy question. therE can be only the following combinations

4-0

3-1

2-2

1-1-2

if the sisters don't repeat the combinations then only 4 of them could exchange gifts. the other sister need to use of the above combination to distribute the gifts.

B already given 4 to A So B will give 0 gift to D as only 4 gift can be given by each.

C will give 1 to D

Now Remaing are If A have given 2 gift to D
Then E can give any one from 0 only

Or

If have E have given 2 to D then A will give 0 .

As someone said it is a tricky question. I think the answer is in the first part of the question. It says "... and each receives 4 gifts". It clearly says that each sister received only 4 gifts. So the answer to this question should be 4. I don't see a need to really bother about any combinations here.
