Correct Answer:

(A), (B), (D), (C)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B), (D), (C)

(A) Boris Yeltsin is appointed as the head of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.: 1985 March
(B) Berlin Wall falls:  1989 October
(D) Russian parliament declares its independence from the Soviet Union.: 1990 June
(C) The Communist Party hardliners stage an abortive coup against Gorbachev.: 1991 August

There is mistake in framing of statement A by the NTA. The statement should have been " Boris Yeltsin is appointed as the head of the Communist Party in Moscow"

NCERT. "1985 March: Mikhail Gorbachev elected as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; appoints Boris Yeltsin as the head of the Communist Party in Moscow; initiates a series of reforms in the Soviet Union".
