Explanation

C.N. Annadurai (known as 'Anna') became the first Chief Minister to die in office when he passed away in February 1969 while serving as Tamil Nadu's CM. This was a significant moment in Indian political history, leading to M. Karunanidhi's succession. The other options lived much longer - Jyoti Basu died at 95, Harkishan Singh Surjeet at 92, and M.G. Ramachandran died in office in 1987 (later than Annadurai).
