Explanation
The keyed sequence is P-S-Q-R, and both reputable answer keys mark (B), which is retained. Note, however, that the printed parts read most coherently as the Lao Tzu maxim "do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small" (S-R-Q-P), so the part labels appear slightly garbled in transcription. Because the key cannot be verified against UPSC's own key, it is kept with this reservation: key disputed.
