Explanation

The chronological order of the establishment of these regional organizations is as follows: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established first in 1967. It was followed by the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC), which was founded in 1985 to promote multilateral cooperation among South Asian states [2]. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) was subsequently established in 1989 as a regional economic forum for countries on the Pacific Rim [6]. Finally, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was formally established on June 15, 2001, when the 'Shanghai Five' expanded to include Uzbekistan [2]. Therefore, the correct sequence is ASEAN (1967), APEC (1989), SAARC (1985), and SCO (2001), which corresponds to the order 4-3-2-1 based on the provided list.
