The correct answer is option 4, Madras Regiment. The Madras Regiment is the oldest regiment in the Indian Army. It was formed in 1758 as the Madras European Regiment by the British East India Company. The regiment has a rich history and has participated in several wars and conflicts, including the Anglo-Maratha Wars, the Anglo-Nepalese War, the First and Second World Wars, and the conflicts with Pakistan and China. The Madras Regiment has been known for its bravery and valor in battle.

Option 1, Sikh Regiment, is also an old regiment in the Indian Army but it was raised in 1846, making it younger than the Madras Regiment.

Option 2, Kumaon Regiment, was raised in 1813 and option 3, Punjab Regiment, was raised in 1761, making both of them younger than the Madras Regiment.

In conclusion, the Madras Regiment is the oldest regiment in the Indian Army, with a history dating back to 1758.
