A4, 2, 1, 3
B2, 4, 1, 3
C3, 4, 1, 2
D2, 1, 3, 4

Explanation

The chronological order is: Cornwallis Code (1793, permanent settlement framework), Vernacular Press Act (1878, Lord Lytton), First Indian Factory Act (1881, Lord Ripon), and Morley-Minto Reforms (1909). So the sequence is 4-2-1-3. The other codes scramble this well-established timeline of colonial legislation.
