Organisms have evolved from simpler forms to complex form. Hence the order of the events are genes first, then heterotrophic prokaryotes, then autotrophic prokaryotes, then eukaryotes and then animals.

The correct order of major events in the early history of life is:
1. First genes (Q)
- The first self-replicating molecules, likely RNA, emerged in a prebiotic soup.
2. First heterotrophic prokaryotes (P)
- These were the first organisms that could obtain energy by consuming organic compounds, such as sugars and amino acids, from their environment.
3. First autotrophic prokaryotes (S)
- These were the first organisms that could produce their own organic compounds, such as sugars and amino acids, from inorganic sources, such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
4. First eukaryotes (R)
- These were the first organisms that developed internal membrane-bound organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, which allowed for more efficient energy production and photosynthesis.
5. First animals (T)
- These were the first multicellular organisms that could move and consume other organisms for energy.
Therefore, the correct option is (c) QSPRT.
