CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

P opens: Nisha finds the album. Q describes the first photo.
T says she did not know who "it" was, R is her grandmother's answer, and S is what "that bicycle" meant to her.
So the order is PQTRS.

Worth noting

PQRTS has the grandmother answer before Nisha has asked her anything.
