CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

After the opening sentence, P says how the jar fills.
R is "at the end of each year", S is "then", counting, and Q is last year's use of the money.
So the order is PRSQ.

Worth noting

RPSQ fills the jar at the end of the year before anyone has put a coin in it.
