Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence of the events is: Ilbert Bill (1883), Morley-Minto Reforms (1909), Rowlatt Act (1919), and Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931). The Ilbert Bill was introduced in February 1883 during Lord Ripon's tenure to allow Indian judges to try Europeans [t5][t7]. The Morley-Minto Reforms, also known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, introduced the elective principle and separate electorates for Muslims [c2][c3]. The Rowlatt Act, officially the Anarchical and Revolutionary Crimes Act, was passed in March 1919, leading to widespread protests and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre [c1][t2]. Finally, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed in March 1931 between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin to end the Civil Disobedience Movement [t2][t3]. Therefore, the sequence is 4-3-1-2.
