B A is the key. The passage must begin with B as it opens up the topic mentioning ‘In recent years, these have been many reports ….., its debatable results, and its vague, esoteric terms’. A should follow B as it is logically the supportive text immediately required as it states that for too many people it is like a blind man in a dark room ….. what it accomplishes has not been made clear. A, C and D cannot begin the passage as they are supportive in nature. ..................................................
Correct Option: C
