CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R opens with a belief. S answers it: studies "suggest otherwise".
P gives what the studies found about "the best of them", and Q draws the conclusion.
So the order is RSPQ.

Worth noting

RPSQ says "the best of them" before the musicians and athletes have been named.
