C Correct answer
Explanation

P.V. Narasimha Rao completed a full five-year term as Prime Minister (1991-1996) and was not from the Nehru-Gandhi family. He was the first Prime Minister from South India and led the Congress Party after Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. While Morarji Desai and Vajpayee also completed terms, the question specifies 'first' and Rao was the earliest non-Gandhi family PM to do so.
