Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Justice Harilal J. Kania became the first Chief Justice of India when the Supreme Court was inaugurated on 26 January 1950, and served until his death in November 1951. Justice M. Patanjali Sastri succeeded him as the second Chief Justice. Vivan Sundaram was an artist, not a judge, so the catch-all 'none' is wrong.
