Correct Option (B):
The Oudh Commercial Bank, established in 1881 in Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, holds the distinction of being the first commercial bank in India with limited liability that was managed by Indians. It functioned as a joint-stock bank until its eventual collapse in 1958.
Incorrect Options:
- Hindustan Commercial Bank (A) was founded much later in 1948, making it incorrect for the specified year of 1881.
