C Correct answer
Explanation

This makes a meaningful sentence. Only Q follows 1 as other options do not fit with it. “Thirdly” in P follows “firstly” in 1, shows it to be on the third place. “All of these” in S refers to the three points. “Computer is only medium” sets it apart from other sentences. Hence, R comes at last.
