1992

none of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
NSE was incorporated in 1992 as a tax-paying company and started operations in 1994 with wholesale trading in debt instruments. It revolutionized Indian financial markets by introducing electronic screen-based trading instead of the open outcry system used by BSE. The other options are incorrect - 1993 was the year when SEBI was granted statutory powers, and 1988 predates NSE's formation.
