‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as ‘factor in the growth’ makes a logical phrase together. S will follow next as it is in continuation with the previous part in the context of the ‘crimes’. P will come next as per the subject-verb agreement rule. R will be the last part because ‘planning and governance’ is logical in the context of the meaning of the entire sentence. Hence, QSPR is the right sequence. Thus, option (a) is correct.
