Solution

The correct option is A 1956
The democratically elected government in Sri Lanka passed an act in 1956, known as the Official Language Act No. 33 of 1956, to replace the English language with the language of the Sinhala, as the official language. Hence, Option A is correct. The enactment did not happen in the other years mentioned, hence, these are incorrect.
