Correct answer: B

Chronological-ordering questions on India's early revolutionary movement abroad are solved by anchoring each event to its own confirmed year and then arranging the years in ascending order — not by guessing from the sequence in which the stem lists them.

Applying this to the four events given:

  1. Madan Lal Dhingra shot Curzon Wyllie dead in London on 1 July 1909 — the earliest of the four.

  2. Tarak Nath Das and G. D. Kumar founded the United India House at Seattle around 1910, building an organisational base for Indian revolutionaries in North America.

  3. The Ghadr newspaper began publication from San Francisco in November 1913, giving the movement that soon became the Ghadar Party its voice.

  4. The Kamagata Maru, turned back from Canada, reached Budge-Budge near Calcutta in September 1914 — the latest of the four.

Sequencing these years (1909 → 1910 → 1913 → 1914) against the stem's numbering (1 = Ghadr, 2 = Kamagata Maru, 3 = United India House, 4 = Dhingra) gives the order 4, 3, 1, 2.

Cross-check against the other codes:

  • "3, 1, 4, 2" places the 1910 founding of the United India House, and the 1913 start of Ghadr, ahead of the 1909 assassination — reversing that pair.

  • "4, 2, 3, 1" opens correctly with the 1909 assassination but then jumps to the 1914 Kamagata Maru incident before the 1910 founding and the 1913 publication — misplacing it.

  • "3, 2, 4, 1" puts both the 1910 founding and the 1914 incident ahead of the 1909 assassination, and pushes the 1913 publication to the end — reversing several pairs at once.
