Solution

The correct option is C Congress
Until 1977, the Congress was the only party to form government at the centre and all the PMs were from that party. However, in 1977, for the first time, a non-Congress, the Janata party formed a government in the Republic of India and Morarji Desai became the Prime Minister.
