{'krishna deva raya': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'vijayanagara': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'qutab minar': [2, 1, 0, 0], 'events': [8, 7, 11, 18], 'firoz tughlaq': [3, 1, 1, 0], 'arrival': [0, 2, 1, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'death': [5, 3, 6, 7]}

The correct answer is Option 1 which arranges the mentioned historical events in chronological order:

Event II: Construction of Qutab Minar was completed in 1220 AD during the reign of Iltutmish of the Delhi Sultanate.

Event IV: Firoz Tughlaq, a ruler of the Tughlaq dynasty ruled Delhi and passed away in the year 1388.

Event III: The Portuguese arrived in India in 1498 when Vasco da Gama landed in Calicut.

Event I: Krishna Deva Raya ascended the throne of Vijayanagara Empire in 1509 and ruled till 1529.

Option 2 wrongly places the events I and III. Event I comes after the event III. Options 3 and 4 incorrectly place events IV and II, these events occurred before events I and III. Thus, option 1 (II, IV, III, I) is the correct answer.
