CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Q opens: it names Mahesh. R says how "his sister" helped.
P is what he shouted while she held on, and T is the end of the lane. S shows where "she" really was.
So the order is QRPTS.

Worth noting

QRTPS has him reach the end of the lane before he shouts "Don't let go!", which belongs to the wobbly start.
