This SC is based primarily on a "style" rule, but has two other grammar rules that can help you to choose the correct answer:

1) Pronoun - Since "London" is a singular city, this SC should have the word "its"
Eliminate C

2) Modification - the word "only" is modifying the number "two", so the best phrase is "only two" (as opposed to "two only").
Eliminate C (if you haven't done so already) and E

3) Active Voice - "London" should be as early in the sentence as possible.
Eliminate D and E

4) Style - "In a London that afforded its playwrights" is a grammatically correct style phrase.

Final Answer: B
