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

Hint:

When dealing with chronology questions involving rulers, try to associate them with major historical periods or famous emperors (like Akbar). This helps anchor their timelines. For example, knowing Bharmal was Akbar's contemporary places him firmly in the 16th century.
