Let’s arrange the events in chronological order based on the history of socialism in Russia.

• Statement iii : Formation of first Russian Marxist group . This was the first event that happened in 1883 , when a small group of socialists in Russia began to call themselves Marxists and formed the Emancipation of Labour group . They translated the works of Marx and Engels into Russian and distributed them among the workers and revolutionaries.

• Statement iv : Formation of Russian Social Democratic Labour Party . This was the second event that happened in 1898 , when several Marxist groups came together to form a single party called the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) . The party aimed to mobilize the workers and peasants against the autocratic rule of the Tsar and establish a socialist state in Russia.

• Statement i : Formation of Socialist Revolutionary Party . This was the fourth event that happened in 1900 , when another socialist party emerged in Russia called the Socialist Revolutionary Party (SR) . The SRs drew their support from the peasants and believed in peasant socialism. They advocated land reforms and social justice for the rural poor. They also resorted to violence and assassinations to overthrow the Tsarist regime.
  
  
• Statement ii: Second Congress of Russian Social Democratic Labour Party . This was the third event that happened in 1903 , when the RSDLP held its second congress in London and Brussels. The party split into two factions: the Bolsheviks (meaning majority) led by Vladimir Lenin and the Mensheviks (meaning minority) led by Julius Martov. The Bolsheviks wanted a small and disciplined party of professional revolutionaries who would lead the masses, while the Mensheviks wanted a broad and democratic party that would include all sections of society.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c) : iii, iv, i, ii
