CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

R opens: it names the Sundarbans. Q says where "it" lies.
S describes "its trees" and their roots, P says what "these tangled roots" do, and T adds the tiger with "also".
So the order is RQSPT.

Worth noting

QRSPT opens with "it lies", before the forest has been named.
