A Correct answer
Explanation

It separates’ in C refers to ‘launch vehicle’ in 1. E follows C as it talks about placement of spacecraft in the orbit, by the launch vehicle.‘The spacecraft often carries small rocket engines for manoeuvering and orienting in space’ in D is linked with E because it continues to tell what happens next in space after it is placed there. 'The rocket engines' in D is linked to 'rocket engines.... to soft-land on the Moon' in B. ‘It carried…lunar orbit’ in 6 refers to ‘The Lunar Modulethe Moon’ in B.
