The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Reaction Sequences 

  • (P) Fusion of benzenesulfonic acid with molten NaOH followed by nitration
    • Leads to Trinitrophenol (Picric acid).
    • Matches: (3)
  • (Q) Nitration followed by diazotization and hydrolysis
    • Forms 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol.
    • Matches: (5)
  • (R) Sulfonation, nitration, and hydrolysis
    • Produces Dinitrophenol.
    • Matches: (4)
  • (S) Oxidation of methylbenzene, nitration, bromination, and hydrolysis
    • Forms Nitrohydroxybenzene.
    • Matches: (1)

Step 2: Conclusion

  • (P) → (3)
  • (Q) → (5)
  • (R) → (4)
  • (S) → (1)

Thus, the correct answer is (C) P-3, Q-5, R-4, S-1.
