The correct option is 1 i.e. RPSQ

The passage mentions how the leading causes of death in the past were infection and trauma. However, though medicine has gained victory over both, now, the causes of ill-health are chronic degenerative diseases like arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer, etc. The passage talks about how these have a long latency period for the symptoms to appear and diagnosis to be made and thus, majority of healthy people are pre-ill.

The correct sequence will be:

Throughout human history the leading causes of death have been infection and trauma. Modern medicine has scored significant victories against both, and the major causes of ill health and death are now the chronic degenerative diseases, such as coronary artery disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, macular degeneration, cataract and cancer. These have a long latency period before symptoms appear and a diagnosis is made. It follows that the majority of apparently healthy people are pre-ill.
