Explanation
S1 introduces the co-operative movement's scale and age. Q describes its structure (Rochdale Principles, Raiffeisen Model); R states its reputation ("economic miracle"); P notes the recent centenary; S traces its history since the 1904 Act; and S6 lists the areas of organisation (credit, dairy, sugar and so on). This gives QRPS. Hence option A.
