Explanation
S1: man once lived alone. R gives the motive for change — the dangers of wild animals made him seek company. S ('roamed from place to place in search of food'), Q ('began to feel lonely and helpless'), and P ('each man was a nomad') describe the pre-society phase, leading to S6: 'Ultimately society was formed...' Hence (a) RSQP.
