Explanation

The Delian League formed around 478 BCE, before the Peloponnesian War began in 431 BCE. The plague struck Athens in 430 BCE, during the war. Athens was defeated in 404 BCE and lost its power, so the correct sequence is “The Delian League was formed,” “The Peloponnesian War began,” “A plague broke out in Athens,” and “Athens lost its ruler and its power.”
