Explanation:

- Each part of the jumbled sentence offers a different section of a complete thought.

- R begins with "whenever in doubt," indicating it should likely start the sentence since it sets a condition.

- S follows naturally with "always opt for the option," suggesting a course of action to be taken when in doubt.

- Q continues with "that causes the least discomfort," clarifying the kind of option to choose.

- P ending with "to the greatest number of people" completes the idea by explaining the outcome of the option.

Given this order, the sentence reads fluently as: "Whenever in doubt, always opt for the option that causes the least discomfort to the greatest number of people."

- Option:1, RQPS - Incorrect as it doesn’t follow the logical sequence.

- Option:2, QRSP - Incorrect; it starts incorrectly.

- Option:3, RSQP - Correct as per the logical order.

- Option:4, QPSR - Incorrect; misplaces the parts.
