Consider the following and arrange them in correct chronological order.1.Food for work programme2.Community Development Programme3.Training for Rural Youth for Self Employment (TRYSEM)4.Drought Prone Area ProgrammeSelect the correct answer from the code given below:

1. A

   4, 2, 3, 1

   4, 2, 3, 1. Places Drought Prone Area Programme (1973–74) before Community Development (1952), which is historically impossible.

2. B

   2, 4, 1, 3

   2, 4, 1, 3. Community Development Programme (1952) → DPAP (1973–74) → Food for Work (1977) → TRYSEM (1979).

3. C

   2, 4, 3, 1

   2, 4, 3, 1. Starts correctly with CDP then DPAP, but puts TRYSEM (1979) before Food for Work (1977).

4. D

   4, 2, 1, 3

   4, 2, 1, 3. Again starts with DPAP, decades after CDP had already begun.

Summary. Official key is (b) 2, 4, 1, 3. The Community Development Programme (item 2) began in 1952 as the first nationwide rural-development experiment. DPAP (item 4) was launched in 1973–74 for chronically drought-prone blocks. Food for Work (item 1) followed in 1977 as a wage-employment scheme paying partly in foodgrain and was later recast as NREP. TRYSEM (item 3) came in 1979 as the youth-skill component under IRDP. That order — 2, 4, 1, 3 — is the only sequence that matches the launch years.
