Explanation
★The correct chronological order of statehood is 4, 3, 2, 1.
★Punjab in its present form came first, after the reorganisation of 1966.
★Manipur became a full-fledged state next, in 1972.
★Sikkim became a state of India in 1975 through the 36th Amendment.
★Goa became a state last, in 1987, having been a Union Territory before that.
