Correct answer: A

R has the subject and the verb, and P begins the "that" clause with a condition: "if the forest".
S gives the forest its verb and closes the condition with a comma. Q is the result's subject, and T its verb.
So the order is RPSQT: "The scientists warned that if the forest continued to shrink, many animals living in it would disappear."

Worth noting

RPQST puts "many animals living in it" before "continued to shrink", which leaves "the forest" with no verb.
