CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R opens with the old man and his habit. P adds details of the habit with "he always".
S breaks the habit: "one day ... he did not come". Q shows the pigeons on "the empty bench", which needs the bench from P and the missing man from S.
So the order is RPSQ.

Worth noting

PRQS opens with "he", who has not been named yet.
