Explanation
‘Children’ is followed by the verb ‘are like the tender samplings’ (R). ‘That grow into beautiful trees’ (P) is the relative clause on ‘samplings’. ‘With the sunshine and rain’ (S) and ‘of a warm home and supportive surroundings’ (Q) give the nourishing conditions of the metaphor. Hence option (c), RPSQ, is correct.
