CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Q is the main clause, and "fined for" needs an -ing word: S "for driving without".

  2. "Without" needs a noun: P "a licence", then "and for" adds a second reason: R.

  3. So the order is QSPR: "The man was fined for driving without a licence and for crossing a red light."

Worth noting

QPRS puts "a licence and for" straight after "fined", which cuts "without" off from "a licence".
