Explanation
The proverb reads: ‘She who has been in trouble’ (S) ‘would know the trouble’ (R) ‘better than the one’ (Q) ‘who has been troubling’ (P). The relative clause ‘who has been troubling’ (P) must follow ‘the one’ (Q), and ‘would know the trouble’ (R) must follow its subject (S). SRQP is the only coherent arrangement, i.e. option (c).
