Solution

The correct option is C QSPR
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 says that the five year plans are meant for nation's economic development. Q elaborates on S1's point. It says that a way of measuring nation's development is by finding out the amount of progress made in the fight against poverty.
Q is followed by S: S introduces a sub-topic. It talks about India's five year plan and says that it ends with more people coming under poverty line.
S is followed by P: P questions the reason for S. It asks what are the reasons for more people coming under poverty line.
P is followed by R: R answers P's question. It says that there are many reasons. S6 continues by saying that the most important reason is failure on the family-planning front.
Thus, the correct sequence is Q S P R. Hence, B is the correct option.
