The correct answer is Telegram.

The Telegram service, a historical form of communication via telegraph, was permanently discontinued by India Post on July 15, 2013, after 163 years of service. Money Order, Postal Life Insurance, and Inland Letters are services that continue to be offered by India Post, although their usage patterns may have changed over time due to technological advancements.

The decline of the telegram service was largely due to the advent and widespread adoption of modern communication methods like mobile phones, SMS, and internet-based messaging services. The cost and infrastructure required to maintain the telegram network became increasingly unviable compared to the declining volume of traffic.
