Answer 1

(III), (II), (IV), (I)

Explanation:

Nagaland became a separate state in 1963, followed by the reorganisation and formation of the present Punjab state in 1966. Tripura attained full statehood in 1972, and Arunachal Pradesh later in 1987. So the chronological order is Nagaland, Punjab, Tripura, and Arunachal Pradesh.
