Explanation

The correct chronological sequence of these historical events is as follows: First, the Pitt's India Act was passed in 1784 to rectify the defects of the Regulating Act of 1773 and establish a Board of Control [4]. Second, the Subsidiary Alliance system was introduced by Lord Wellesley in 1798, with the Nizam of Hyderabad being the first to enter such an agreement [1]. Third, the Treaty of Lahore was signed in 1846 following the First Anglo-Sikh War during the tenure of Lord Hardinge I. Finally, the Doctrine of Lapse was a policy extensively used by Lord Dalhousie between 1848 and 1856 to annex princely states like Satara and Jhansi [1]. Therefore, the sequence is 4 (1784), 2 (1798), 3 (1846), and 1 (1848), making option 1 the correct choice.
