This is a letter 
(P) from a young lady 
(Q) who was lately wounded in a duel 
(R) written in the most passionate terms 
(S) wherein she laments the misfortune of a gentleman

  • A.PRQS
  • B.RPQS
  • C.PRSQ
  • D.RPSQ

Answer: C

Correct answer: PRSQ

The sentence reads:

This is a letter from a young lady written in the most passionate terms wherein she laments the misfortune of a gentleman who was lately wounded in a duel.

P attaches to letter, and R is a participle describing the same letter, so both stay near it. S opens the wherein clause, and Q is a relative clause describing the gentleman, so it must follow him immediately.
