CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

"Not once" at the start turns the verb round: R "not once did", then the subject: S.
"Did" needs a plain verb: T "complain about", which needs what: Q. P says when.
So the order is RSTQP: "Not once did the old man complain about the pain in his leg during the long journey."

Worth noting

RSQTP puts "the pain in his leg" before "complain about", which gives "did the old man" a noun where it needs a verb.
