Answer: C

Explanation:

By the alternate interior angles theorem, we know that
5y+14=8y-13 \longrightarrow y=9.

So, this means that
m\angle RPS=59^(\circ).

Now, if we consider
\triangle RPS, since angles in a triangle add to
180^(\circ), this means that
59+2x+1+3x=180 \longrightarrow x=24.

So,
m\angle RSP=\boxed{59^(\circ)}
