(N/A) In $\Delta POQ$,$AB \parallel PQ$.
Therefore,$\frac{OA}{AP} = \frac{OB}{BQ}$ (Basic Proportionality Theorem) $...(i)$
In $\Delta POR$,$AC \parallel PR$.
Therefore,$\frac{OA}{AP} = \frac{OC}{CR}$ (Basic Proportionality Theorem) $...(ii)$
From $(i)$ and $(ii)$,we obtain:
$\frac{OB}{BQ} = \frac{OC}{CR}$
Therefore,$BC \parallel QR$ (By the converse of the Basic Proportionality Theorem).
