B Correct answer
Explanation

Indira Gandhi was the first Indian Prime Minister to be voted out of office when she lost the 1977 general election following the Emergency period. The opposition Janata Party coalition defeated her Congress party. This was a historic moment as it was the first time the Congress party lost power at the national level since independence. Saran Singh (Sardar Swaran Singh) was a cabinet minister, not PM. Chandrasekar and Deve Gowda became PM much later.
