The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest foundation is: Atmiya Sabha (1815), Tattvabodhini Sabha (1839), Satyashodhak Samaj (1873), and Ramakrishna Mission (1897).
The correct chronological progression begins with Raja Ram Mohan Roy establishing the Atmiya Sabha in 1815, followed by Debendranath Tagore founding the Tattvabodhini Sabha in 1839, Jyotirao Phule setting up the Satyashodhak Samaj in 1873, and culminates with Swami Vivekananda founding the Ramakrishna Mission in 1897.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the founding year of each listed organization.
Atmiya Sabha was founded in 1815, Tattvabodhini Sabha in 1839, Satyashodhak Samaj in 1873, and Ramakrishna Mission in 1897.
Recall of foundation dates is essential to establish chronological sequence.
2
Sequence the events from the earliest year to the latest year.
1815 (Atmiya Sabha) → 1839 (Tattvabodhini Sabha) → 1873 (Satyashodhak Samaj) → 1897 (Ramakrishna Mission).
Comparing the years numerically yields the required chronological order.
