Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) 1974
India made its One-Day International (ODI) debut in 1974. Their first ODI match was played against England on July 13, 1974, at Headingley, Leeds. This debut came after the introduction of the ODI format following the first-ever ODI match, which took place between Australia and England in 1971.
In this debut match, India faced a strong England side and unfortunately suffered a heavy defeat. The game, however, marked the beginning of India's journey in one-day international cricket, which would later see them becoming one of the most successful and influential teams in the world, including winning the Cricket World Cup in 1983 and 2011.
