Answer:

C. "I'll stay in isolation for 6 weeks

Explanation:

The patient doesn't have to isolate himself for 6 weeks, after 2 weeks of antitubercular therapy, he is no longer contagious. He just needs to continue taking his drug for up to a year and also not go though stress as it might make it relapse back.
