CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Q opens with a narrow view of forests. R turns with "but": they do more.
S begins with the roots, and P moves "above the roots" to the leaves, so it follows S.
So the order is QRSP.

Worth noting

RQSP opens with "but", which needs something before it to turn against.
