Explanation
(S) "he regarded" supplies the main-clause verb, (Q) "his major achievements" its object, (P) "as mere stepping stones" the object complement, and (R) "for the next advance" the purpose: "He regarded his major achievements as mere stepping stones for the next advance." Other orders strand the verb “regarded” without its object nearby. The sequence S-Q-P-R is option (B).
