Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After the opening sentence, P answers with "in fact".
S says who lives "there", R adds the wild animals with "also", and Q says how "they all" survive.
So the order is PSRQ.
Worth noting
SPQR opens with "millions of people live there", before any place has been named.
