Explanation

Germany (option B) was indeed the first country to introduce old age pensions. Chancellor Otto von Bismarck established the world's first comprehensive social security system in the 1880s, including old age pensions in 1889. This became a model for many other nations. Britain introduced pensions later (1908), the US even later (1935 with Social Security), and India after independence.
