Correct answer: C

P is the main clause, and "told" is followed by a "that" clause: S, which ends on "would".
"Would" needs a verb: R "remain closed until", and "until" needs a clause: Q.
So the order is PSRQ: "The workers were told that the factory would remain closed until the machines were repaired."

Worth noting

PRQS puts "remain closed until" straight after "were told", which leaves "that the factory would" at the end with no verb.
