Explanation

The Sena dynasty ruled Bengal during the 11th and 12th centuries. The chronological order of the rulers listed is as follows:

  • Hemant Sen (c. 1095–1096 AD): He was the first in the lineage to assume royal titles, succeeding his father Samanta Sen.
  • Vijaya Sen (c. 1096–1159 AD): He is regarded as the real founder of the dynasty's power, having conquered almost the whole of Bengal and defeating the Pala rulers.
  • Ballal Sen (c. 1159–1179 AD): He consolidated the empire and is famous for introducing the social reform known as Kulinism. He was also a scholar who authored Danasagara and Adbhutasagara.
  • Lakshman Sen (c. 1179–1206 AD): He was the last significant ruler of the dynasty. His reign saw the invasion of Bengal by Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji.

Thus, the correct ascending chronological sequence is 3, 4, 1, 2.
