Correct answer: B

"It took ... to" is a fixed frame: S opens it, and R gives the time and "to", which needs a verb.
Q gives that verb and its object, and P says where the bridge goes.
So the order is SRQP: "It took the workers six months to build the bridge across the river."

Worth noting

SQPR puts "build the bridge" straight after "the workers" and ends on "six months to", with nothing after "to".
