Explanation

Indira Gandhi was assassinated on October 31, 1984. She was killed by her own bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, at her residence on Akbar Road. This assassination was in retaliation for Operation Blue Star. The date October 31, 1984 (option C) is correct. January 30, 1984 (option D) marks the death of Indira's father Jawaharlal Nehru's associate - it's actually the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination in 1948, not related to Indira Gandhi.
