Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
R begins the subject and a clause about it: "that my aunt". Q gives that clause its verb, "brought from Kolkata".
Then the subject's own verb: P "were finished", and S says how fast.
So the order is RQPS: "The sweets that my aunt brought from Kolkata were finished within a day."
Worth noting
QRPS opens with "brought from Kolkata", which has no subject.
