The correct answer is C - For the first time in decades, Baby Boomers have been outnumbered by another group - the Millennials.

It's the most attention-grabbing sentence in the narrative, which makes the reader go on with reading the text. It introduces the topic in a compelling way, with the claim that Baby Boomers have lost the battle of numbers, for the first time in history. The contrast between the name "Baby Boomers" and the fact that they are outnumbered (therefore, they don't "boom" anymore) is the main rhetorical strength of this sentence.
