CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

P opens: it names the task and needs nothing before it. R begins the steps with "first".
S says "next" and plants "them", the soaked beans, in "a pot". Q waters "the pot", so it must come after the pot appears.
So the order is PRSQ.

Worth noting

RPSQ opens with "first, soak a few beans", before the paragraph has said what it is about.
