Solution

The correct option is A 1989
Since its inception in 1950 and till 15 October 1989, Election Commission functioned as a single member body consisting of the Chief Election Commissioner. On 16 October 1989, the President appointed two more election commissioners to cope with the increased work of election commissioner due to lowering of voting age from 21 to 18 years.
