CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

T opens: frogs begin as eggs. P says what "the eggs" hatch into.
R gives the tadpoles legs, and S says "after the legs come", so it follows R. Q is "at last".
So the order is TPRSQ.

Worth noting

PTRSQ opens with "the eggs hatch", before any eggs have been mentioned.
