The correct answer is: RQSP

Key Points

The sentence talks about the causes and consequences of famine in a region.
The correct order of the sentence is: causes (R), specific causes (Q), consequence (S), and further consequence (P).
The sentence uses a parallel structure to list the causes of famine: drought, floods, war, and economic instability.
The sentence also uses a contrast conjunction "but" to introduce the consequence of famine, which includes hunger, death, and social unrest.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
