C Correct answer
Explanation

Bangalore (now Bengaluru) was one of the first Indian cities to get electricity in 1905, when the hydroelectric plant at Shivanasamudra began power generation. However, this claim is historically disputed as Darjeeling had electricity earlier (1897). The question treats Bangalore as the accepted answer in this quiz context. The other major cities listed got electrified later.
