The game of judo was invented in the year _____.
1882
The question asks for the year in which the martial art of judo was invented.
Judo is a modern Japanese martial art and combat sport that emphasises throws, grappling, pins and controlled submission techniques over striking.
It was founded by Jigoro Kano in 1882, when he established his school, the Kodokan, in Tokyo.
Kano refined and systematised older jujutsu techniques, removing the most dangerous moves and adding a philosophy of physical education, discipline and mutual welfare, so that it could be practised safely as a sport.
Judo later gained worldwide recognition and became an Olympic sport for men in 1964 and for women in 1992.
Among the given options, 1782, 1812 and 1712 are too early and do not correspond to Kano's founding of the Kodokan; only 1882 matches the historical date.
Therefore, the game of judo was invented in 1882.
