DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Inter-University Accelerator Centre (formerly Nuclear Science Centre)
Explanation
The first inter-university centre set up in 1984 was the accelerator centre once called the Nuclear Science Centre.
Treating the Nuclear Science Centre as its present name overlooks that this title was its earlier designation.
The centre for astronomy and astrophysics was established later, not first.

It provides advanced accelerator facilities shared across universities.
It was renamed the Inter-University Accelerator Centre in 2005.
