CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

R opens: it names Arjun and says he has never seen the sea. Q follows: "the first morning" of that trip.
S describes the sea he finds at the beach, and P says how long "he stayed in the water".
So the order is RQSP.

Worth noting

QRSP opens with "on the first morning", before the paragraph has said what trip it means.
