Solution

The correct option is D RQ
Sentence P does not make much sense in the context of S1 and S4. Q states how the Bhopal gas tragedy has no parallel by giving the statistics and R explains how it was caused which is further expanded in S4. R and Q (in this order) provide more coherence and meaning in the given context and perfectly link S1 and S4:
S1. The Bhopal gas tragedy is a catastrophe that has no parallel in industrial history. [R] In the early morning hours of December 3 1984, a rolling wind carried a poisonous grey cloud past the Union Carbide plant in Bhopal. [Q] Around 8000 people died and about 3,00,000 more suffered agonizing injuries.
S4. The cause was the contamination of Methyl Isocyanate storage tank with water; the safety valve opened and the gas was released into the atmosphere.
