CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

R ends on "was", which needs the rest of its verb: Q "delayed by three hours because".
"Because" needs a clause with a subject: P "a tree had fallen across". Across what? S.
So the order is RQPS: "The train to Jaipur was delayed by three hours because a tree had fallen across the tracks near Alwar."

Worth noting

RPQS puts "a tree had fallen across" straight after "was", which makes no sense and leaves "delayed" stranded.
