Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option C i.e. QSPR.

  1. The fixed statement tells that "Sunita Aralikar's story is incredible but true." and statement Q says that "Her mother died when she was fifteen days old." that is first incredible so it should come after the fixes statement.
  2. Now, statement S will come as it makes a sequence.
  3. As the statement P shows the result of the statement S "Fortunately she was pulled out of the tiny grave by her maternal grandfather." it should come after S.
  4. Now, statement R will be the last statement.

Finally, we have an arrangement "QSPR" that is in the chosen option.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
