Solution:

P and R both talk about demand and supply so they belong together.

• S is unrelated to other three sentences so it should come either at the start or at the end.
• The sequence cannot start with Q as it clearly states the two organs that are commonly traded whereas P mentions the term “healthy organs” which is a generalized term. Only option B fulfills all the conditions.
• Thus, the correct sequence is PRQS.
