Put the following major historical events in chronological order beginning from the earliest to the latest:

(A) Emergence of the Sultanate of Golconda

(B) Establishment of the Delhi Sultanate

(C) Emergence of the Sultanates of Ahmednagar, Bijapur and Berar

(D) The Diwani of Bengal transferred to the East India Company

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> Order: Delhi Sultanate (1206), Golconda (1518), Diwani of Bengal (1765), Ahmednagar/Bijapur/Berar (1490-1518) - This places Ahmednagar/Bijapur/Berar last, which is incorrect.

Option 2 -> Order: Golconda (1518), Delhi Sultanate (1206), Diwani of Bengal (1765), Ahmednagar/Bijapur/Berar (1490-1518) - This starts with Golconda before Delhi Sultanate, which is chronologically wrong.

Option 3 -> Order: Delhi Sultanate (1206), Ahmednagar/Bijapur/Berar (1490-1518), Golconda (1518), Diwani of Bengal (1765) - This follows the correct chronological sequence.

Option 4 -> Order: Delhi Sultanate (1206), Diwani of Bengal (1765), Golconda (1518), Ahmednagar/Bijapur/Berar (1490-1518) - This places Diwani of Bengal before the Deccan Sultanates, which is incorrect.

Hence, Option 3 -> The Delhi Sultanate was established first in 1206 CE, followed by the emergence of Ahmednagar, Bijapur, and Berar Sultanates (1490-1518 CE) as the Bahmani Sultanate disintegrated, then Golconda Sultanate emerged in 1518 CE, and finally the Diwani of Bengal was transferred to the East India Company in 1765 CE after the Battle of Buxar -> correct
