Chronologically arrange the following political events related to Indian National Movement beginning from the earliest : 1. Formation of Swaraj Party 2. Communal Award 3. Lucknow Pact 4. Simla Conference Select the answer using the code given below :

The chronological sequence of the events is as follows: The Lucknow Pact was signed in 1916 between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League to present joint constitutional demands [4]. The Swaraj Party was formed in early 1923 (following the 1922 Gaya session) by C.R. Das and Motilal Nehru after the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement [4]. The Communal Award was announced by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald in August 1932, providing separate electorates for various communities including Muslims and the Depressed Classes [4]. Finally, the Simla Conference was convened by Lord Wavell in June 1945 to discuss the Wavell Plan for Indian self-government, but it ended in failure by July 1945 [4]. Therefore, the correct order is 3 (1916), 1 (1923), 2 (1932), and 4 (1945).
