Explanation

The chronological order of the foreign travelers is determined by their arrival in India. Ibn Battuta, a Moroccan traveler, visited India in the 14th century (1304–1377) during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq [2]. Afanasii Nikitich Nikitin, a Russian merchant, traveled to India in the 15th century (c. 1466–1472) . Antonio Monserrate, a Spanish Jesuit priest, visited the Mughal court of Akbar in the late 16th century (1536–1600) . Finally, Peter Mundy, an English traveler, visited India during the 17th century (1600–1667) during the reign of Shah Jahan . Therefore, the correct sequence is Ibn Battuta (4), followed by Afanasii Nikitich Nikitin (3), Antonio Monserrate (2), and Peter Mundy (1), which corresponds to the order 4-3-2-1.
