CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Q is the main clause, and "asked" is followed by "to" and what to do: R "to bring their own".
"Their own" needs a noun: P "lunch and a bottle", which T completes with "of water" and says when. S finishes it.
So the order is QRPTS: "The students were asked to bring their own lunch and a bottle of water on the day of the school trip."

Worth noting

QRTPS puts "of water on the day" before "lunch and a bottle", which leaves "their own" pointing at "of water".
