Solution

The correct option is A Q S R P
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It should be a continuation or extension of S1.
Q is first in the sequence: S1 starts telling us that a young man was trapped on the Himalayas overnight. Q continues S1's story. It says that when the man arrived at the hospital his body temperature was 22 degrees and he showed no signs of life.
Q is followed by S: S tells us what happened after Q. It says that after he was brought to the hospital, he was immediately connected to a heart-lung machine.
S is followed by R: R continues the story told by S. It says that two hours after being connected to the machine, his body temperature had risen to normal.
R is followed by P: P continues R's point. It says that once his body temperature became normal, the patient came back to life and needed some days in ICU. S6 provides a conclusion to the story by saying that he suffered no after effects and the resuscitation was a success.
Thus, the correct sequence is Q S R P. Hence, D is the correct option.
