Answer 1

I, IV, III and II

Explanation:

The Fifth Report (1813), which examined the effects of British revenue policies, was the second event after The Permanent Settlement in Bengal (1793). The Santhal Rebellion (1855–56) reflected resistance against exploitative practices. Finally, the Deccan Riots Commission (1878) addressed agrarian unrest in the Deccan region, marking later 19th-century agrarian developments.
