The correct chronological order is:

D. Three Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania became the members of UN - 1991

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan - The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. This invasion was aimed at supporting a pro-Soviet government in Afghanistan, but it led to a long and costly conflict known as the Soviet-Afghan War.

The Fall of the Berlin Wall occurred in 1989. This event symbolized the end of the division between East and West Germany and marked the beginning of the reunification of Germany. It was a significant development in the end of the Cold War.

Russian Parliament declares its independence from the Soviet Union - In 1990, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union, declared its sovereignty and independence from the central Soviet government. This was a significant step in the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union.

The three Baltic republics of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania became UN members in September 1991.

Russia and India share a vision of a multipolar world order. What they mean by a multipolar world order is the co-existence of several powers in the international system, collective security (in which an attack on any country is regarded as a threat to all countries and requires a collective response), greater regionalism, negotiated settlements of international conflicts, an independent foreign policy for all countries, and decision making through bodies like the UN that should be strengthened, democratised, and empowered. More than 80 bilateral agreements have been signed between India and Russia as part of the Indo-Russian Strategic Agreement of 2001.
