- ARSQP

- DPSQR
Explanation
The parts form: "Irony is a figure of speech (R) where you say one thing (Q) while you mean another (S) or the opposite (P)". R gives the definition being introduced, Q adds the "where" clause, and S-P completes the contrast ("one thing... another or the opposite"). This gives RQSP. Hence option C.
