CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. "Unlike his brother" compares two people, and "who" begins a clause about the brother: S, then P "loves cricket," and the main subject, Arjun.

  2. Q gives Arjun his verb, and R says how he spends the time.

  3. So the order is SPQR: "Unlike his brother, who loves cricket, Arjun spends his free time reading about space."

Worth noting

SQPR puts "spends his free time" straight after "who", which makes the brother the one who spends his time on space.
