Explanation

Jojoba wax is the ester matter produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis. Vegetable ivory is a product made from the very hard white endosperm of the seeds of certain palm trees. Vegetable ivory is named for its resemblance to elephant ivory. Species in the genus Phytelephas, native to South America are the most important sources of vegetable ivory. Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil derived from the mesocarp (reddish pulp) of the fruit of the oil palms, primarily the African oil palm Elaeis guineensis. Guayule rubber is obtained from Porthenium argeratum. Hence, the correct sequence of codes is P - 2, Q - 1, R - 4, S - 5.
