Explanation
The sentence opens with the subject ‘peace is always the only alternative’ (R), followed by the correlative ‘not only during war and’ (Q), ‘turbulent times’ (P), and ‘but also during peaceful times’ (S). The correlative conjunction ‘not only... but also’ requires Q-P before S. RQPS gives the correct sentence, i.e. option (c).
