B Correct answer
Explanation

The phrase 'Shaken, not stirred' first appeared in Ian Fleming's debut Bond novel 'Casino Royale' published in 1953. In Chapter 7, Bond instructs the barman: 'Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.' This established his signature martini preference that became a hallmark of the character throughout the series. Quantum of Solace, The Living Daylights, and Golden Eye are later works or titles.
