{'correct chronological order': [2, 2, 18, 6], 'viceroys': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'british rule': [4, 1, 10, 6], 'lord hardinge': [3, 1, 8, 0], 'tenure': [4, 1, 5, 6], 'lord chelmsford': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'lord lrwin': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The correct chronological order of the tenures of these Viceroys of India during the British rule is option 1: Lord Curzon - Lord Hardinge - Lord Chelmsford - Lord Irwin.

Option 1: Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905, followed by Lord Hardinge who served from 1910 to 1916, then Lord Chelmsford from 1916 to 1921, and Lord Irwin served from 1926 to 1931.

Option 2: This order is incorrect because Lord Chelmsford didn`t serve before Lord Curzon and Lord Irwin didn`t serve before Lord Hardinge.

Option 3: Again, this order is incorrect as Lord Irwin didn`t serve immediately after Lord Curzon and Lord Chelmsford didn`t serve immediately after Lord Irwin.

Option 4: This order is incorrect as Lord Chelmsford didn`t serve before the other three Viceroys and Lord Curzon didn`t serve after Lord Irwin and Lord Hardinge.

Therefore, the correct sequence is Lord Curzon - Lord Hardinge - Lord Chelmsford - Lord Irwin.
