The correct answer is option 2 i.e. SPRQ.

While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out-

  • Sentence 1 gives an introduction about the northeastern region. S starts with 'it' and refers to the region mentioned in sentence 1. Hence, S follows sentence 1.
  • Next is P as S talks about rainfall and P further gives details about this topic.
  • R follows P as it refers to the 'uneven distribution of rainfall' that is mentioned in P.
  • Last is Q as it as 6 talks about the temperature so Q must be preceding sentence 6.
