Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Order of Precedence in India is a protocol list established by the President's Secretariat to determine the rank of dignitaries for ceremonial purposes. According to the official Table of Precedence, the President occupies the first rank, followed by the Vice-President at rank 2, and the Prime Minister at rank 3 [t2][t5]. Former Presidents are placed at rank 5 [t2][t7]. The Chief Justice of India, along with the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, is placed at rank 6 [t2][t3][t7]. Therefore, the correct sequence among the given options is Prime Minister (Rank 3), followed by Former President (Rank 5), and then the Chief Justice of India (Rank 6). This hierarchy ensures proper protocol during state functions and official ceremonies [t2][t6].
