The correct answer is option 4, Satyendra Nath Tagore. Satyendra Nath Tagore was the first Indian to get selected in the Indian Civil Service (ICS). The ICS was the civil service of British India during the colonial period. It was a highly prestigious and sought after position, and Indians were initially not allowed to take the examination. However, in 1864, a limited number of Indians were allowed to take the exam, and Satyendra Nath Tagore became the first Indian to pass the exam and join the ICS.

Dadabhai Naorojee, mentioned in option 1, was also an important figure in Indian history, but he was not the first Indian to get selected in the ICS. Subhash Chand Bose (option 2) and Rabindranath Tagore (option 3) were prominent figures in the Indian independence movement, but they were not selected in the ICS.
