Let’s place the events in their chronological order:
1. Lucknow Pact: Signed in December 1916.
2. Return of Subhash Chandra Bose to India: Subhash Chandra Bose resigned from the Indian Civil Service in 1921 and returned to India to join the national movement.
3. Cripps Mission: Sent by the British government to India in March 1942 to secure Indian support during World War II.
4. Naval Mutiny in Bombay: Occurred in February 1946, involving ratings of the Royal Indian Navy.
The chronological sequence is therefore 1 (1916), 2 (1921), 3 (1942), 4 (1946). This matches option C.

These events represent significant milestones in India’s struggle for independence, reflecting shifts in political alliances, growing nationalist activity, and increasing pressure on the British government.

The Lucknow Pact was an agreement between the Congress and the Muslim League, and also saw the reunion of the moderate and extremist factions of the Congress. The Cripps Mission failed due to disagreements over the nature of India’s future government and defence. The Naval Mutiny was one of the final major revolts against British authority before independence.
