To determine the correct labels for the components of the arch in the provided figure, we must understand the key architectural elements involved:

  1. Extrados: The outer curve or surface of an arch. It is labeled as P in the diagram.
  2. Key (or keystone): The central stone at the apex of an arch, locking the whole arch. It is labeled as Q.
  3. Span: The horizontal distance between the supports of an arch. This is represented by R in the diagram.
  4. Abutment: The part of an arch that bears the lateral thrust. In this diagram, it is shown as S.
  5. Rise: The vertical distance from the springing line to the highest point of the intrados. It is marked as T.
