D Correct answer
Explanation

Atal Bihari Vajpayee first became Prime Minister on May 16, 1996, leading a short-lived 13-day BJP government that could not muster sufficient support in Parliament. He resigned on June 1, 1996, before facing a vote of confidence, making this one of the shortest PM tenures in Indian history. This brief stint marked Vajpayee's first term as PM; he would return later for longer tenures. P. V. Narasimha Rao's term ended in May 1996, and Sonia Gandhi was not in active politics at this time.
