Explanation:

Let’s break this down one by one:

- Prithviraja-Raso: Believed to be composed by Chand Bardai, it’s about the life of Prithviraj Chauhan (12th century, but written later—most agree it’s from late 12th to early 13th century).

- Kitab-ul-Hind: Written by Al-Biruni around 1030 CE, on Indian society under Mahmud of Ghazni.

- Tabaqat-i-Nasiri: Authored by Minhaj-i-Siraj in 1260 CE, it’s a major chronicle of the Delhi Sultanate.

- Fatawa-i-Jahandari: Composed by Ziauddin Barani in the 14th century.

So, in order of when they were actually written:

1. Kitab-ul-Hind (c. 1030)

2. Prithviraja-Raso (late 12th–13th century, but for our purposes, later than Al-Biruni)

3. Tabaqat-i-Nasiri (1260 CE)

4. Fatawa-i-Jahandari (14th century)

Let’s match this to the options:

- Option 1: 2, 3, 1, 4

- Option 2: 3, 4, 1, 2

- Option 3: 4, 3, 2, 1

- Option 4: 3, 2, 4, 1

Here’s the thing:

- Option 4: 3, 2, 4, 1 puts Kitab-ul-Hind first, then Prithviraja-Raso, then Tabaqat-i-Nasiri, then Fatawa-i-Jahandari.

- That’s exactly the right sequence.

Option 4: 3, 2, 4, 1 is correct.
