The correct answer is option (A):
PSQR
The correct answer is PSQR. Let's break down the logic:
The core idea revolves around the negative consequences of harsh laws. Here's why the sequence PSQR makes the most sense:
* **P (Harsh and draconian laws will not only violate the right to liberty granted by Article 21 of the Constitution):** This introduces the main subject: the problem of overly strict laws. This sets the stage for a discussion of their consequences.
* **S (But also lead to great evils such as an increase in corruption in the police):** This connects to the initial statement by outlining a direct negative result of those laws, specifically an increase in corruption. "But also" logically follows "will not only."
* **Q (And other law enforcing agencies, which will have much more opportunity):** This introduces another consequence and builds upon the idea of corruption, specifically the opportunities available to law enforcement. This statement naturally follows statement S.
* **R (To extort money from the citizens, apart from impeding scientific and economic growth):** This adds more detail, explaining the kind of opportunities that would be available to law enforcement: extorting money and impeding economic growth.
The sequence PSQR establishes a clear cause-and-effect relationship, logically flowing from the problem (harsh laws) to its negative outcomes (violation of rights and corruption), with specific consequences as described in Q and R.
