Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The chronological order of the tenures of the listed Vice-Presidents is as follows: V.V. Giri served as the third Vice-President from May 13, 1967, to May 3, 1969 [t2, t4]. He was succeeded by Gopal Swarup Pathak (G.S. Pathak), who held the office from August 31, 1969, to August 30, 1974 [t1, t7]. Following him, B.D. Jatti served from August 31, 1974, to August 30, 1979 [t1, t6]. Finally, Justice Mohammad Hidayatullah served as the Vice-President from August 31, 1979, to August 30, 1984 [c2, t7]. Although M. Hidayatullah also served as the Acting President in 1969 while he was the Chief Justice, his formal tenure as the elected Vice-President occurred after B.D. Jatti's term [t8]. Therefore, the correct sequence is V.V. Giri (1), G.S. Pathak (4), B.D. Jatti (3), and M. Hidayatullah (2), which corresponds to the sequence 1-4-3-2.
