CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Q ends on "for", which needs an -ing word: R "missing the meeting was". The subject is "the reason", and "was" is its verb.
"The reason ... was that ..." is the pattern: P brings the "that" clause, and S says where the car broke down.
So the order is QRPS: "The reason he gave for missing the meeting was that his car had broken down on the highway near Panipat."

Worth noting

QPRS puts "that his car had broken down" right after "for", but "for" needs an -ing word or a noun, not a "that" clause.
