CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P names the subject, "the man who repaired", and R finishes that clause with what he repaired and when.

  2. Then the man's own verb: S "has opened a shop", and Q says what it sells.

  3. So the order is PRSQ: "The man who repaired our roof last year has opened a shop selling tiles and paint."

Worth noting

RPSQ opens with "our roof last year", which leaves "the man who repaired" without the thing he repaired.
