The correct answer is: A. Jun-65

The first industrial robot for commercial uses was installed in a Japanese plant at Toyota Automatic Loom Company, the parent company of the Toyota Automobile Group, in June 1965. It was a Unimate, a programmable robot developed by George Devol and Joseph Engelberger. The Unimate was originally designed to automate the welding of car bodies, but it was soon used for a variety of other tasks, including machine loading and unloading, assembly, and inspection.

The Unimate was a major breakthrough in the development of industrial robots. It demonstrated the potential of robots to automate repetitive and dangerous tasks, and it helped to pave the way for the widespread use of robots in industry today.

The other options are incorrect because they are not the dates on which the first industrial robot for commercial uses was installed in a Japanese plant at Toyota Automatic Loom Company.
