Given:

PQ is a diameter.

∠QOR = 100°

Concept used:

the angle subtended by the chord at the centre of the circle is twice

the angle subtended at any point on the circle's circumference. 

Calculation:

⇒ ∠QOR + ∠ROP = 180°

⇒ ∠ROP = 180 - 100 = 80°

∠ROP = 2 × ∠PSR

⇒ ∠PSR = 80/2 = 40°

∴ The correct answer is 40°.
