Correct answer is (b) 1817

To elaborate: The first commercial paperboard was produced in 1817, by the firm M. Treverton and Son. Paperboard is a packaging material, thicker than paper possessing characteristics like foldability and rigidity. Paper with grammage greater than 250 g/m^2 is called paperboard.
