The correct answer is

1910

Forensic serology deals with the identification of blood, semen, saliva and other body fluid stains and with determining their species of origin and blood group.

In India the post of Imperial Serologist was created in 1910 at Calcutta (Kolkata), and this office became the Serology Department of the Government of India; it examined blood and seminal stains sent from all the provinces.

It came after the Chemical Examiner laboratories of the nineteenth century and the Anthropometric/Fingerprint Bureau at Calcutta (1897), and it is still functioning as the Serologist and Chemical Examiner to the Government of India.

The years 1915 and 1925 do not match any founding of this department, and 1947 is the year of Independence, long after the office had already been working for decades.

Therefore the serology department of the Government of India dates from 1910.

Hence, 1910.
