CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
S opens: it says when cricket came to India. Q says who played it "at first".
P says "later", and R is "today", so the order runs forward through time.
So the order is SQPR.
Worth noting
SPQR puts "later" before "at first", which turns time backwards.
