CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens the story: it names Meena and the puppy, and needs nothing before it.
P follows with "she" and "it": Meena picks the puppy up. Q comes once the puppy is inside, and S says what happened "the next morning".
So the order is RPQS.

Worth noting

RQPS gives the puppy its milk before Meena has even carried it inside.
