A1913 ✓ Correct

B1914

C1915

D1931

Correct answer: (A) 1913

Explanation

Raja Harishchandra, directed by Dadasaheb Phalke, was made in India in 1913.

This silent feature is regarded as the first full-length Indian film.

The year 1914 is too late, coming after this landmark release.

The year 1915 likewise misses the true date by two years.

The year 1931 belongs to Alam Ara, the first talkie, not to this silent debut.

Phalke's 1913 production marks the birth of Indian cinema.
