Concept:Understanding the logical sequence of sentences in a paragraph requires identifying links based on context, chronology, and thematic continuity.
Explanation:S1 introduces the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
Sentence S naturally follows S1 because it describes IMD as the principal meteorological agency.
R continues the timeline by stating when IMD issued its first long‑range monsoon forecast (1986).
Q provides further detail on the statistical models used by the Crop Yield Formation Unit.
P shifts to the role of monsoon forecasting, linking directly to S6 which discusses the economic impact of these predictions.
Thus the correct sequence after S1 and before S6 is: S, R, Q, P.
This matches option B (SRQP).
Answer:B. SRQP
