Correct answer: (C) 1931
Explanation
Alam Ara, the first talkie directed by Ardeshir Irani, was made in India in 1931.
It introduced synchronised sound and song to Indian cinema.
The year 1929 is too early, before sound reached Indian films.
The year 1930 also falls short of the actual release date.
The year 1913 belongs to the silent Raja Harishchandra, an entirely earlier milestone.
The sound era of Indian film begins in 1931 with this production.
