CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

"Scarcely ... when" is a pair. Q begins it, and "the" needs a noun: R "guests taken their seats".
T brings "when" and the second event's subject, P its verb, and S says who came behind him.
So the order is QRTPS: "Scarcely had the guests taken their seats when the groom arrived on a white horse followed by a band."

Worth noting

RQTPS opens with "guests taken their seats", which leaves "scarcely had the" after its own subject.
