C Correct answer
Explanation

The first sentence introduces the topic of art forgery. The sentence Q in the given sequence follows with details on the said topic. Sentence S then talks about the history of art forgeries which is followed by the reason why art was created in sentence P. The sentence R  is a precursor to the last sentence S6 where we are informed of the fact that art in classical times was copied and the buyers knew they were not genuine and the last sentence closes the passage by saying that the identity of the artist was not important. Thus, this makes the passage in a logical and chronological order.
