Explanation

The Table of Precedence is a protocol list maintained by the Ministry of Home Affairs (approved by the President) that determines the hierarchy of various dignitaries and officials in India. The ranks for the dignitaries mentioned are as follows:

  • Rank 4: Governors of States (within their respective states).
  • Rank 5: Former Presidents.
  • Rank 5a: Deputy Prime Minister.
  • Rank 6: Chief Justice of India and Speaker of the Lok Sabha.

Based on this official hierarchy, the correct sequence from highest to lowest rank is: Governors within their respective states (2), followed by Former Presidents (3), then the Deputy Prime Minister (4), and finally the Chief Justice of India (1). This results in the sequence 2, 3, 4, 1, making option B the correct answer.
