Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The chronological order is: Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) → Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation of India (ICICI) → Unit Trust of India (UTI) → Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI). IFCI was set up in 1948 as a statutory corporation to provide medium- and long-term industrial finance [1]. ICICI was established in 1955, while both UTI and IDBI were created in 1964; ICICI therefore predates UTI and IDBI, producing the sequence IFCI (1948), ICICI (1955), UTI (1964) and IDBI (1964) — which corresponds to option 1 (I, II, IV, III) [2]. Therefore option 1 is correct.
