Q: It does this by building up a tension, for a part of the year, all through one’s youth.

Explanation
Q opens because 'It does this' picks up S1's charge that the examination system wrecks young nerves, explaining how - by building tension through part of the year. S specifies that tension as the January-to-April nervousness the writer remembers. R extends it: even after four decades the same nervousness recurs in nightmares. P gives the nightmare's physical detail - jumping out of bed in a sweat - which justifies S6's vow to abolish examinations. Hence QSRP, option D, is correct.
