Explanation
Q is the first event after S1: in July 1898 Manson described Ross's results to the British Medical Association. P follows with 'They' - those results - producing a profound sensation. S continues the same scene: when Manson finished, the audience rose and cheered. R then raises the stakes - the Royal Society's president came to inspect the materials - which leads to S6, Ross's election as a Fellow in 1901. Hence QPSR, option C, is correct.
