Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) P–3,Q–1,R–2,S–4

Explanation

Large grains deform unevenly and produce orange peel. Without adequate blank holding, compressive flange stress causes wrinkling. A sharp punch corner concentrates strain and tears the bottom corner. Direction-dependent plastic flow causes earing. Thus **P–3,Q–1,R–2,S–4: C**.
