Q. They can go for days without drinking water.

CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

P opens: it says what the paragraph will show. Q gives the first reason, with "they" for the camels.
S follows Q: "when they do find water" answers going for days "without drinking water". R adds "another help", so it comes after the first.
So the order is PQSR.

Worth noting

QPSR opens with "they", which has no one to point to until the camels are named.
