The correct sequence should be

A) P Q R S B) P R S Q
C) Q R S P D) Q R P S

R will bethe continuing statement which states what he actually discovered. P follows next as it talked about the reaction of the Regent after the discovery. And S would be the concluding statement and thus form a coherent paragraph.

The correct formation would be, ‘The Regent having discovered that he had imprisoned an innocent man released Voltaire and gave him a pension.’
