This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

Must be done immediately after the pawn moves two squares.

En passant (French: 'in passing') is a special pawn capture move in chess. When a pawn advances two squares from its starting position and lands beside an opponent's pawn, the opponent has the option to capture it as if it had moved only one square.

The key rule: en passant must be executed immediately on the very next move after the pawn's two-square advance. If the player does not capture en passant immediately, the right to do so is permanently lost. Options A, B, and D are all incorrect.
