Answer 1

Tarapur

Explanation:

The Tarapur Atomic Power Station, located in Maharashtra, is the very first nuclear power plant built in India. It was opened in October 1969 to start generating clean nuclear energy for the country. The other options, like Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu, Narora in Uttar Pradesh, and Rana Pratap Sagar in Rajasthan, are also major nuclear power stations, but they were all set up much later.
