The correct sequence for ordering references in APA style is chronological by date of publication. If the same author has multiple works, those works should be listed in ascending date order. However, when the same author has multiple works published in the same year, these are differentiated with letters (a, b, c, etc.) after the year. Given this, the correct order is:

- Allport, G. W. (1930-1967). Correspondence. - Allport, G.W. (Original work published 1954) - Allport, G.W., & Ross, M. J. (1967) - Allport, GW. (Original work published 1948)

Therefore, the correct sequence should be:

Allport, G. W. (1930-1967). Correspondence. Allport, G.W. (1979). The nature of prejudice (Original work published 1954) Allport, G.W., & Ross, M. J. (1967) Allport, GW. (2001). Introduction. (Original work published 1948)

In terms of the provided list and based on the APA Style referencing order, the correct order is:

1, 2, 4, 3

This is closest to option d. However, there seems to be an error in the years provided in the options. The last two references seem to have their original publication years switched. If we ignore the parentheses indicating original publication years, considering only the years that are immediately following the authors’ names for the purpose of ordering, the correct option would be d. 1, 3, 2, 4.

Extra: When creating a reference list according to APA Style, it's important to follow several basic rules:

- Arrange your reference list alphabetically by the surname of the first author of each work. - For multiple works by the same author, order them by publication date, with the earliest first. - If the same author(s) are cited for more than one paper having the same order of authors' names, the papers should be listed in chronological sequence by year of publication. - Use a hanging indent for each reference. The first line of each reference should be flush left, and each additional line should be indented. - For two or more works by the same author published in the same year, order them alphabetically by title and add a lowercase letter immediately after the year.

These guidelines help provide a standardized method of citing sources, so readers can easily find and review the sources students and researchers have used in their work.
