Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall the years of the events.

• Elections to the 11 Provinces of British India -- 1937
• Formation of the Indian National Army (INA) -- 1942
• Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi -- 30 January 1948
• Abolition of Privy Purse -- 1971

Step 2: Arrange them from earliest to latest.
\[ 1937 \rightarrow 1942 \rightarrow 1948 \rightarrow 1971 \] Thus, the correct sequence is \[ \boxed{(iii)\rightarrow(iv)\rightarrow(i)\rightarrow(ii).} \]

Step 3: Final conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is \[ \boxed{\text{(B) }(iii),\ (iv),\ (i),\ (ii).} \]
