C Correct answer
Explanation

A 'hurdle' literally refers to an obstacle in a race, and metaphorically means any challenge or obstacle that must be overcome. In this context, after clearing the written test, the interview becomes the next obstacle/challenge the candidate must face. The sentence structure 'passed the written test; the interview is the next' strongly suggests a sequential progression of challenges.
