Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Chronological ordering places historical events by their actual dates, from earliest to latest. When events fall in the same year, their exact months or days must be compared rather than only the year.
Application
The Simon Commission was appointed in November 1927 and arrived in India in February 1928; this is event 1.
The Quit India resolution was adopted on 8 August 1942 and the movement began immediately thereafter; this is event 4.
The Cabinet Mission reached India in March 1946 and issued its plan on 16 May 1946; this is event 2.
The Constituent Assembly held its first meeting on 9 December 1946; this is event 3.
Cross-check
The date sequence is 1927/1928, 1942, 16 May 1946, and 9 December 1946. Therefore the chronological order is 1, 4, 2, 3.
