CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R ends with "that", which must be followed by a whole clause. Its subject is P, "people who sleep less than".
"Less than" needs an amount: S "six hours a night". Its verb "catch" needs an object: Q "colds".
So the order is RPSQ: "Scientists have found that people who sleep less than six hours a night catch colds more often than others."

Worth noting

RSPQ makes "six hours a night" the subject of "catch", as if hours could catch colds.
