Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The chronological formation of these early political associations is as follows: The Poona Sarvajanik Sabha was founded in 1870 (though some sources trace its predecessor to 1867) by M.G. Ranade to bridge the gap between the government and the people [2]. The Indian Association of Calcutta was established in 1876 by Surendranath Banerjee and Ananda Mohan Bose, representing the middle class and ryots. The Madras Mahajan Sabha was founded in 1884 by leaders like M. Viraraghavachari and B. Subramaniya Iyer. Finally, the Bombay Presidency Association was started in 1885 by Badruddin Tyabji, Pherozshah Mehta, and K.T. Telang [1]. This sequence (1870, 1876, 1884, 1885) corresponds to the order 1, 2, 3, 4, making Option 1 the correct chronological arrangement.
