Correct answer: C

"Hardly ... when" is a pair. P begins it, and "the" needs a noun: Q "shop opened its doors".
S brings "when" and the second event's subject, T its verb, and R says where.
So the order is PQSTR: "Hardly had the shop opened its doors when a long queue formed outside it on the pavement."

Worth noting

QPSTR opens with "shop opened its doors", which leaves "hardly had the" after its own subject.
