Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1: (A), (C), (D), (B) -> Places Jallianwala Bagh (1919) before INC establishment (1885), which is incorrect.

Option 2: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> Places Quit India Movement (1942) first, which occurred much later, making this sequence wrong.

Option 3: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> Begins with Quit India Movement (1942) and places British takeover (1858) after INC (1885), which is chronologically incorrect.

Option 4: (A), (D), (C), (B) -> British takeover (1858) → INC establishment (1885) → Jallianwala Bagh (1919) → Quit India Movement (1942).


Hence, Option 4: (A), (D), (C), (B) -> The correct chronological sequence is: British Government took direct control in 1858 after the 1857 revolt, Indian National Congress was established in 1885, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre occurred in 1919, and Quit India Movement was launched in 1942 -> correct
