Extension term originated in ...........
Answer: A
The keyed year is 1866.
Standard extension education texts in India state that the term 'extension' originated in England in 1866, with a system of university extension, the teaching of university subjects to people outside the university, which was taken up first by Cambridge and Oxford universities and later by London and other universities. The idea was later carried to the United States, where it became agricultural extension.
1867, 1868 and 1869 are neighbouring years with no such place in the textbook account, which is the trap in an option set this close.
