CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

S opens: it names turmeric. R says what is done to "the root".
P says what "this powder" does in food, Q adds a second use with "also", and T sums up "these uses".
So the order is SRPQT.

Worth noting

RSPQT opens with "the root is boiled", before we know which plant's root.
