D Correct answer
Explanation

India's first postage stamps were issued in 1854 from Karachi, which was then part of British India (now in Pakistan). These were the Scinde Dawk stamps, embossed with designs. Agra, Calcutta, and Thane were major postal centers but not the site of the first stamp issue - this is a common point of confusion with where stamps were used versus where they were printed.
