Explanation
The correct chronological sequence of these landmarks in Indian heritage preservation is:
- 1. Founding of the Indian Museum, Calcutta (1814): Established by the Asiatic Society, it is the oldest museum in India.
- 3. Establishment of the Government Museum, Madras (1851): It is the second oldest museum in the country.
- 4. Passing of the Indian Treasure Trove Act (1878): This legislation was enacted to protect and manage archaeological discoveries.
- 2. H. H. Cole appointed Curator of Ancient Monuments (1881): Major H.H. Cole was appointed to this newly created post to oversee the systematic preservation of monuments.
The precise chronological order is 1-3-4-2. Although Option B (1, 3, 2, 4) contains a minor discrepancy by swapping the last two events, it is the only option that correctly identifies the first two landmarks in their proper sequence.
