Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (D) P-2, Q-5, R-4, S-3

Explanation

A breakaway/zero-strength barrier assists fire access; auxiliary dampers dissipate seismic energy; tap aerators reduce water use; stair lifts assist vertical access. The matches 2, 5, 4, 3 give D. An intruder alarm addresses a different safety/security function.
