Choice C is the best answer. In the first paragraph the reader is introduced to Nawab, a father of twelve daughters who feels compelled to make more money to care for his family: "he must proliferate his sources of revenue" (lines 6-7, "knew that... K. K. Harouni"). The remainder of the paragraph focuses on the way Nawab attempts to "proliferate" those income sources by identifying some of the moneymaking schemes Nawab undertakes, including setting up a flour mill and a fish farm and attempting to fix both radios and watches.
Choice A is incorrect because even if the first paragraph does indicate that Nawab is willing to work hard to take care of his family, it does not specifically address how he interacts with his daughters emotionally. Choice B is incorrect because the first paragraph describes some of Nawab's activities but not the specifics of his schedule. Choice D is incorrect because the first paragraph introduces Harouni as Nawab's employer but does not describe his lifestyle.
