Identify the option that has the most appropriate sequence such that a coherent paragraph is formed: P. It is because deer, like most of the animals that tigers normally prey on, run much faster! It simply means, another day of empty stomach for the big cats. Q. Tigers spend most of their life searching for food. R. If they trace the scent of deer, tigers follow the trail, chase the deer for a mile or two in the dark, and yet may not catch them. S. For several nights, they relentlessly prowl through the forest, hunting for a trail that may lead to their prey.
S → P → R → Q
R → P → S → Q
Q → S → R → P
P → Q → S → R
The correct option is (c) 
Q introduces the idea that tigers spend most of their time searching for food.
S follows logically, explaining how they relentlessly search through forest, looking for a trail.
then describes the action of following the scent of deer & the chase that might not result in a catch.
concludes the paragraph by explaining why they fail, as deer are much faster, leading to an empty stomach for the tigers.
