Solution

The correct option is A Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzuki was a joint venture by Maruti Udyog and Suzuki. The company began producing the famed Maruti 800 in the year 1983, which pitted it against the likes of the Premier Padmini and the Hindustan Ambassador.
After India's economic liberalisation in 1991, various new and contemporary companies were introduced to the country's market. Mercedes-Benz was one of the first luxury automobiles to enter the Indian market after its liberalisation, in 1994. Toyota, on the other hand, entered the market in 1997, while Audi began its Indian sales much later in 2004.
