The first sentence introduces the main topic of the tsunami, and its consequences.

The sentence that most logically follows sentence 1 should be Q, since it expands on the topic of the tsunami by describing why and how it was triggered.

The next sentence should be S since it expands upon the topic of Anak Krakatau, mentioned previously in sentence Q.

Out of the two remaining sentences, the sentence that comes first must be P since sentence R directly references and expands upon the tsunami-detection system first introduced only in P.

Hence, the correct order should be: QSPR.

Hence, option 2 is correct.
