The order of oxidizing agents can be determined by looking at the reactant on the left-hand side of each equation. The oxidizing agent will be the reactant that undergoes reduction. 
In the first equation, Q is reduced to QS1U1P1. In the second equation, U is reduced to US1U1P1. In the third equation, W is reduced to WS1U1P1. 
Since WS1U1P1 is the strongest oxidizing agent (it is reduced in both the second and third equation), followed by US1U1P1 (reduced only in the second equation), and then QS1U1P1 (reduced only in the first equation), the correct answer is D.
