Q:No one can deny the importance of pesticides in our agriculture.
R:The proposed amendment is an attempt at doing this, but in the process it seems to have gone overboard in most cases.

C) Q S P R D) P R S Q
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Q S P R

Explanation:

The starting statement talked about the tightening of the rules governing imports, manufacture and the use of pesticides.

Thus, the correct sequence is QSPR.
