Hint : A FIR is a document which is prepared by police when they receive information about any cognisable offence.
Anyone can make such a report to the police. FIR sets the process of criminal justice in India.
An FIR usually includes the date, time, place, incident, description of the culprit etc.

Complete answer :
The full form of FIR is the first information report. It means that first information of any offence is registered through the FIR. When anyone comes to the police to inform them about the commission of the cognisable offence, the Police must write it down. When this information has been recorded by the police, the person must sign on this information.

Option B- First Information Report ,is the correct answer.

Note :Any person can inform the police about any crime either orally or written. However many times the police do not register FIR easily which is registered by the common people. In this situation, people have the right to move the court to get an FIR registered. The procedure of an FIR is defined in section 154 of Indian Penal Code 1973. In most of the cases, police approve first the authenticity of the complaint then register the FIR.
