The correct option is B.

The Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) system, which allows voters to verify that their vote has been recorded correctly by the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) and provides a paper trail for auditing, was first used by the Election Commission of India on a trial basis. The first deployment of VVPATs occurred in a by-election for the Noksen Assembly Constituency in Nagaland held on September 4, 2013.

Following the trial in Noksen, VVPATs were gradually introduced in subsequent elections, including some parliamentary constituencies in the 2014 general election, and eventually implemented in all polling stations across India for the 2019 General Election and subsequent state assembly elections, based on a Supreme Court directive.
