Explanation

Correct Answer: (E) The subject is introduced in sentence (C) - 'India and climatic change'. The reason for concern is given in sentence (F). 'This impact' in sentence (D) refers to the impact mentioned in sentence (F). Sentence (B) follows sentence (D) as it refers to adjustments to these impacts which run into decades and centuries. Next comes the positive note which is reflected in sentence (A). It talks about the benefit to farmers. Sentence (E) concludes the passage as 'thus' in (E) clearly points towards this. So, the correct sequence is (C)-(F)-(D)-(B)-(A)-(E).
