The correct answer is Option 1- Fort St.George

The first fort by the English East India Company in India was Fort St. George. It was founded in 1639 in the coastal city of Madras, the modern city of Chennai.

Masulipatnam, Fort William, and Sewri Fort were also built by the English East India Company, but they were built later than Fort St. George.

The fort is still standing today and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Chennai.
