Correct answer: D

Q has the subject and the verb. Dropped what, and where? R.
"Until" begins a clause: P "the water rose", and S says how high.
So the order is QRPS: "The clever crow dropped small stones into the pot until the water rose high enough to drink."

Worth noting

QPRS puts "until the water rose" before the stones, which splits "dropped" from what it dropped.
