Explanation
The parts form: "Our beautiful riverine ecosystem (Q) is being systematically damaged (P) by industrial pollution (R) channelled into rivers (S)". Q is the subject, P the passive verb phrase, R the agent ("by industrial pollution"), and S a participial phrase modifying "pollution". This gives QPRS. Hence option C.
