The correct answer is C. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) was first inducted for aviation security duties at Jaipur airport.

CISF took over security duties at Jaipur airport on February 3, 2000, on a pilot project basis. Following the success of this pilot, CISF was progressively inducted at other major airports across India.

Prior to CISF, airport security was primarily handled by state police forces. The decision to hand over aviation security to a dedicated central paramilitary force like CISF was taken after the hijacking of IC 814 in December 1999, highlighting the need for a more unified and professional approach to airport security.
