Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct chronological order is 2-4-1-3. The Morley–Minto (Indian Councils) Reforms were enacted in 1909, introducing limited elective representation [1]. The Montagu–Chelmsford reforms (basis for the Government of India Act) followed after World War I and were implemented as reforms leading to the 1919 Act [2]. The Chauri-Chaura outrage occurred in February 1922, prompting Gandhi to suspend the Non-Cooperation Movement that year [3]. The Salt Satyagraha or Dandi March came later in 1930 as a major Gandhian campaign against the salt laws (internal historical chronology). Thus the sequence by date is: 1909 (Minto-Morley) → 1919 (Montagu-Chelmsford) → 1922 (Chauri-Chaura) → 1930 (Dandi March).
