Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) R and U

Explanation

Fix P at position 0 of six positions. S and T occupy 1 and 5 in either order; Q is at 3. The only unfilled positions, 2 and 4, must hold R and U. Both border Q, so its neighbors are **R and U, C**. Their order is consistent with the equal-distance condition.
