CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

"Little did ... know" means "they did not know at all". R opens with it, and "know" is followed by a "that" clause: Q.
Q gives that clause's subject, "the man sleeping", and S says where he slept and brings the verb "was". Was what? P.
So the order is RQSP: "Little did the villagers know that the man sleeping in their temple was the new district collector."

Worth noting

RSQP puts "in their temple was" straight after "know", so "that the man sleeping" has no verb and "was" has no subject.
