Explanation
S1 describes grassroots planning that takes beneficiaries into confidence. S states it works through the market mechanism, R explains it empowers individuals and small groups, and P restates the bottom-to-top operation. Q links it to capitalistic economies before S6’s ‘but not undemocratic’ qualification. Hence option (d), SRPQ, is correct.
