Correct answer
Explanation
Punjab National Bank (PNB) was founded in 1895 and celebrated its centenary in 1995. It was the first Indian bank to be started solely with Indian capital and ownership. State Bank of India is older (1806 as Bank of Calcutta), Syndicate Bank was founded in 1925, and Canara Bank in 1906. The question specifically asks about the centenary in 1995, which matches PNB's founding year.
