Explanation
SQPR yields 'Agriculture has been the backbone of India for long and will continue to be the same' — the only grammatical, meaningful order. SPQR scrambles subject and verb ('for long and the backbone of India agriculture has been...'), and the other options strand the verb phrase. Note: the stored source key marked A, but the official reused-paper key and independent keys confirm B, so the key is corrected here.
