CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

P is the main clause, and "praised for" needs an -ing word: R "for returning the purse".
T says which purse, and Q says where she found it. S says to whom she returned it.
So the order is PRTQS: "The girl was praised for returning the purse she had found on the bus to its owner."

Worth noting

PRTSQ puts "to its owner" before "on the bus", which makes it read as if she found the purse "to its owner".
