(E) The traditional concept of work is undergoing a profound transformation, reshaping the very fabric of how we approach our careers and professional lives.
(F) These pillars are transforming workplaces and encouraging adaptability and innovation.

Which of the following should be the FIFTH sentence after rearrangement?

The correct answer is Option A (which represents sentence A).

To find the correct sequence, let us analyze the sentences step-by-step to build a coherent paragraph:

1. Sentence (E) is the opening sentence: It introduces the central theme of the paragraph, which is the profound transformation undergoing the traditional concept of work.
2. Sentence (C) follows (E): It begins with "This transformation...", which directly references the transformation introduced in sentence (E). It also introduces the three driving pillars: remote work, automation, and the gig economy.
3. Sentence (F) follows (C): It starts with "These pillars...", referencing the three pillars introduced in sentence (C), and explains how they are transforming workplaces and encouraging innovation.
4. Sentence (D) is fixed as the fourth sentence: "Technological advancements and connectivity are removing geographical limits in modern work settings." This sentence sets the stage for remote work by highlighting the removal of geographical limits.
5. Sentence (A) follows (D): It elaborates on the concept of removing geographical limits by discussing the first pillar: remote work ("Remote work, once rare, is now a common practice in many industries worldwide."). Thus, sentence (A) is the fifth sentence in the sequence.
6. Sentence (B) is the concluding sentence: It uses the transition "Therefore" to describe the impact of another pillar, automation, on repetitive tasks and job roles.

The complete logical sequence of the paragraph is E - C - F - D - A - B.

Therefore, the fifth sentence after rearrangement is A.
