CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

S opens: it says when a rainbow appears. P explains what "each drop" does to the light.
Q follows with "these colours", made in P, and R says when you can see "the band" from Q.
So the order is SPQR.

Worth noting

SQPR says "these colours" before any colours have been mentioned.
