1990

Solution :

The correct option is 1990.

Explanation:
The image depicts the massive mobilization of citizens during the first People's Movement, known as Jana Andolan I, in Nepal. In the center of the image, a woman is seen raising her arms in protest amidst a dense crowd of demonstrators, with a democratic movement flag visible in the lower-left area. This historic movement was launched in February 1990 by a coalition of political parties (principally the Nepali Congress and the United Left Front) aiming to end the party-less Panchayat system and restore multi-party democracy.

In April 1990, bowing to the overwhelming pressure of these popular protests and demonstrations across the country, King Birendra of Nepal lifted the ban on political parties and accepted the demand for a new democratic constitution. This paved the way for the promulgation of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal in November 1990, which established a constitutional monarchy and guaranteed multi-party democracy and fundamental human rights to the citizens.
