Each option presents a different sequential order of landmarks in Indian education. Let`s break them down:

Option 1 has the order of (I) Hindu College, Calcutta, (III) Adam’s Report, (IV) Wood’s Despatch, and (II) University of Calcutta. This is the correct chronological order.

Option 2 swaps Adam’s Report (III) and Wood’s Despatch (IV) compared to option 1. However, Wood`s Despatch was published in 1854, after the publication of Adam`s Report in 1835, so this sequence is incorrect.

Option 3 puts Adam’s Report first, followed by Hindu College, Wood’s Despatch, and University of Calcutta. But Hindu College was established in 1817, before the publication of Adam`s Report, making this sequence incorrect.

Option 4 puts Adam’s Report first, followed by University of Calcutta, Wood’s Despatch, and Hindu College. However, the University of Calcutta was established in 1857, after both Hindu College and Adam`s Report, making this sequence also incorrect.

Therefore, the correct chronological order of these Indian Educational landmarks is: Hindu College, Calcutta (1817), Adam’s Report (
