Correct answer: C

"Not until" at the start turns the main clause round. S begins it, and Q completes "the last guest had left", then brings "did".
"Did" is followed by the subject and a plain verb: P "the host sit down". R says why he sat.
So the order is SQPR: "Not until the last guest had left did the host sit down to eat his own dinner."

Worth noting

QSRP opens with "guest had left did", with no "not until" before it, so "did" has nothing to turn round.
