    A RSQP Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B PQSR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C QSPR Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D SRPQ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentences P, Q and R talk about some human and the human is introduced in S. So, S is the second sentence, as it gives introduction to what we are talking about. R follows S, as it gives some additional information about the subject. P is the next sentence. Only after naming, can it be called by the name. Q is the last in the set. So, the correct sequence is SRPQ.
