Option 1: Glenn McGrath - Glenn McGrath is a renowned fast bowler, but he has not taken a hat-trick in the very first over of a Test cricket match.

Option 2: K. Pietersen - Kevin Pietersen is a retired English cricketer and a batsman, not a fast bowler. Therefore, he is not the correct option for this question.

Option 3: C. Walsh - Courtney Walsh is a former West Indian cricketer who was a fast bowler. Although he achieved many milestones in his career, he did not take a hat-trick in the first over of a Test cricket match.

Option 4: Irfan Pathan - Irfan Pathan, an Indian cricketer, is the correct answer to this question. He achieved this feat against Pakistan in 2006. In the first over of the match, he dismissed Salman Butt, Younis Khan, and Mohammad Yousuf consecutively to take a hat-trick.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Irfan Pathan.
