The oxidation number of H in its compound is always +1 except in metal hydrides. Therefore in HI iodine has an oxidation state of -1.

The oxidation number of an atom in its elementary form is always zero. Therefore iodine has an oxidation state of 0 in I2.

Chlorine typically has an oxidation number of -1. Considering that there is only one chlorine atom, the oxidation state of iodine in ICI would be +1.

Hydrogen is usually +1, and oxygen is -2 in most compounds. In HIO4, there are four oxygen atoms. Considering the overall charge of -1, the oxidation state of iodine would be +7.

-1<0<+1<+7

Therefore the correct order is HI<I2<ICI<HIO4.
