Consider the following events and arrange them in correct chronological order starting from the earliest to the last activity:1.Royal Indian Navy Revolt2.Announcement of Cabinet Mission3.Formation of Interim Government4.Arrival of a UK Parliamentary Delegation in DelhiSelect the correct answer from the codes given below:

1. A

   4, 3, 2, 1

   Option (a) claims the sequence is 4, 3, 2, 1, placing the Interim Government before the Cabinet Mission. However, the Cabinet Mission arrived and announced its plan before the Interim Government was formed in September 1946.

2. B

   4, 1, 2, 3

   Option (b) claims the correct chronological order is 4, 1, 2, 3, which accurately places the UK Parliamentary Delegation in January 1946, the Royal Indian Navy Revolt in February 1946, the Cabinet Mission announcement in March 1946, and the Interim Government formation in September 1946. This precise alignment with historical dates makes it the correct sequence and the official key.

3. C

   4, 2, 1, 3

   Option (c) claims the sequence is 4, 2, 1, 3, placing the Cabinet Mission announcement before the Royal Indian Navy Revolt. Since the naval revolt occurred in February 1946 and the Cabinet Mission was announced in March 1946, this order is incorrect.

4. D

   2, 4, 1, 3

   Option (d) claims the sequence starts with the Cabinet Mission announcement, ignoring the earlier arrivals of the parliamentary delegation and the naval revolt. Therefore, this option fails at the very first step.

Summary. Official key is (b) 4, 1, 2, 3. The UK Parliamentary Delegation arrived in Delhi in January 1946, followed by the Royal Indian Navy Revolt in February 1946. The Cabinet Mission was announced in March 1946, and finally, the Interim Government was formed in September 1946. Arranging these milestones properly requires careful attention to the months within the year 1946. Option (b) correctly captures this complete timeline without any chronological errors.
