CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

"No sooner ... than" is a fixed pair. S begins it, and "the" needs a noun: Q "rescue team reached".
Reached what? P, which brings "than" and the second event: R. T adds what the river did next.
So the order is SQPRT: "No sooner had the rescue team reached the flooded village than the river rose again and cut off the road behind them."

Worth noting

QSPRT opens with "rescue team reached", which leaves "no sooner had the" after its own subject.
