- BQ R S P
- CS Q R P
- DR S Q P
Explanation
The correct sequence is S-Q-R-P. It yields: 'Since earliest times, humans have suffered frustration and food losses brought on by destructive pests.' The time phrase S naturally opens the sentence, followed by subject-verb Q, the objects R, and the participial phrase P. Hence (c).
