C Correct answer
Explanation

The AC6 sequence is easy to establish. Sentence A describes the play being directed by Prasanna, now after 17 years, and sentence C presents the idea, ‘The obvious questions that arise are, why this play and why now?’ On account of reference made to the play being staged now, these two sentences should come together in order AC.  The question in 6 is in continuation to the question in C ‘why now?’
