Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct chronological order is 1-3-2-4. Lord Curzon served as Viceroy from 1899 (appointed January 6, 1899) into the early 1900s [1]; he precedes the others. Lord Hardinge served next (1910–1916), followed by Lord Chelmsford (1916–1921), and finally Lord Irwin (1926–1931). Thus the sequence of tenures is Curzon → Hardinge → Chelmsford → Irwin, which corresponds to option 1 (1-3-2-4). The appointment date for Curzon is supported by c1 and the list of viceroys with their tenures is given in the referenced compilation.
