• C. 4, 3, 2, 1
• D. 3, 4, 2, 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1, 2, 3, 4

The Regulating Act was passed in 1773. The next important act was the Pitt’s India Act of 1784. A series of Charter Acts passed were passed by the British Parliament between 1793 and 1853. After the great revolt of 1857, the British Government felt the necessity of seeking the cooperation of the Indians in the administration of their country. In pursuance of this policy of association, three Indian Councils Acts were enacted by the British Parliament in 1861, 1892 and 1909. So the correct chronological order is 1,2,3,4.
