Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

The correct sequence is PRQS: "did he realize that he had been helped by a man he never respected" (as after an opening such as "Only later"). P supplies the verb, R begins its object clause with "that he had been", Q completes the passive "helped by a man", and S is the relative clause describing that man. SRQP and QRPS separate the clause from its verb, and PQRS puts "helped by a man" before "that he had been", which breaks the passive construction.
