Correct answer: C

R opens with who the paragraph is about. Q names her and her loss.
P is what "she believed" about "he", her son. S is what she did with "so", and T is the end.
So the order is RQPST.

Worth noting

RPQST has "she" believe that "he" might have lived before her son has been mentioned.
