Solution

The correct option is B 1965
According to the Constitution, the use of English for the official purposes was to stop in 1965. However many non-Hindi speaking states demanded that the use of English should continue. In Tamil Nadu this movement took a militant form. The central government agreed to continue the use of English also with Hindi for official purposes.
