Your answer:  ·  Correct: A
Explanation

The correct chronological sequence is: The August Offer (1940) → Quit India Movement (1942) → INA trial (beginning with widespread unrest and the Red Fort trials in November 1945) → Royal Indian Naval ratings’ revolt (February 1946). The Quit India call was launched in August 1942 [1]. The INA trials sparked major upsurges beginning on 21 November 1945, marking the start of mass agitations over the trials [2]. The naval ratings’ strike and broader RIN revolt took place in mid-February 1946 (notably on 18 February 1946 in Bombay), closely following the INA-related protests [3].
