B Correct answer
Explanation

The logical sequence is: P (saw elephant, knew not to shoot) → Q (serious matter to shoot working elephant) → S (elephant standing eighty yards away) → R (mast passing off, so decided to watch). This creates a coherent narrative about encountering a working elephant and deciding to observe it rather than shoot it.
