Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

The Second Judges Case, Supreme Court Advocates-on-Record Association v. Union of India, introduced the collegium principle in 1993. It required the Chief Justice's recommendation to emerge from consultation with senior judicial colleagues and gave primacy to that collective judicial opinion. The later Presidential Reference refined the arrangement, so the question's word introduced points to the 1993 decision.
