Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches 1801 with Awadh annexation (which happened in 1856) and 1858 with Subsidiary Alliance (which was in 1801).

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches 1801 with Awadh annexation and 1857 with Subsidiary Alliance, creating chronological errors.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly places Rani Jhansi's death in 1801 and mismatches other events chronologically.

Option 4 -> Correctly matches: 1801-Subsidiary Alliance by Wellesley, 1856-Awadh annexation, 1857-Meerut Mutiny start, 1858-Rani Jhansi's death in battle.


Hence, Option 4: (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II) -> This accurately reflects the chronological sequence: Wellesley introduced the Subsidiary Alliance in Awadh (1801), British annexed Awadh deposing Wajid Ali Shah (1856), the Great Revolt began at Meerut (May 1857), and Rani Lakshmibai died fighting at Gwalior (June 1858) -> correct
