Correct answer: A

S is an opening phrase ending on "about", which needs a noun: Q "the storm,". The comma then brings the subject, "the fishermen".
R gives their verb and "and", and P adds what they did instead.
So the order is SQRP: "Having been warned about the storm, the fishermen stayed on shore and mended their nets instead."

Worth noting

SPRQ puts "mended their nets instead" straight after "warned about", as if they were warned about their nets.
