D Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct answer. Q follows S1 logically.  As Q takes the reference of friends and family as sources of startup funding further. Q also connects to S as S mentions that access to this source of funding is not the issue.  P follows S by giving a contrasting statement that tells us that just because this is easy does not mean we should just take that way. Then it gives us the expert reccomendations logically in R which connects directly to S2 as the experts recommendation is directly followed by details about expert speak.
