The correct answer is option 2: 1993.

The use of `Electors Photo Identity Cards (EPIC)` by the Election Commission of India was started in 1993. EPIC is a voter identification card that includes a photograph of the voter, along with other details such as their name, address, and a unique serial number. The purpose of introducing EPIC was to prevent impersonation and ensure the authenticity of voters during elections.

Option 1: 1992 is incorrect as EPIC was not introduced in that year.

Option 3: 1995 is incorrect as EPIC was introduced earlier, in 1993.

Option 4: 2001 is incorrect as EPIC was introduced much earlier, in 1993.

Therefore, option 2: 1993 is the correct answer.
