(B) Sikkim asking for full integration with India
(C) Peace Agreement between Rajiv Gandhi and Laldenga
(D) The Anandpur Sahib Resolution
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• B. (A), (C), (D), (B)
• C. (D), (A), (B), (C)
• D. (D), (B), (A), (C)

Hint:

Anandpur Sahib 1973, Sikkim 1974, Assam Accord 1985, Mizo Accord 1986.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
The easiest way is to split the events into those before 1980 and those after 1980.

Step 2: Make the two groups.
Before 1980 we have the Anandpur Sahib Resolution (1973) and Sikkim's request for integration (1974). After 1980 we have the Assam Accord (1985) and the Mizo Accord (1986), both signed under Rajiv Gandhi as Prime Minister.

Step 3: Use this to cut options.
Options (1) and (2) begin with (A), the Assam Accord, which belongs to the later group. So both are out.

Step 4: Choose between options (3) and (4).
Both begin with (D). In option (3) the next event is (A), the Assam Accord of 1985, placed before Sikkim of 1974. That is wrong. Option (4) puts (B) next, which is right.

Step 5: Check the ending.
In the later group the Assam Accord came in 1985, then the Mizo Accord in 1986. Option (4) ends with (A), (C), which agrees.

Final Answer:
The sequence D, B, A, C is only in option (4). \[ \boxed{\text{Option 4}} \]
