CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. P begins the subject, and "who" needs a clause: R "should pay for the repairs".

  2. Then the subject's verb: Q "has not yet been", which needs a past form: S "settled by the court".

  3. So the order is PRQS: "The question of who should pay for the repairs has not yet been settled by the court."

Worth noting

PQRS puts "has not yet been" right after "who", which leaves "should pay for the repairs" with no subject.
