Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. India.

 

Amazon Prime Video introduced its first-ever mobile‑only subscription plan in India, making it the first country globally to offer such a plan. Launched in January 2021, this Prime Video Mobile Edition was rolled out in partnership with Bharti Airtel, targeted at prepaid mobile users. Priced at just ₹ 89 for a 28‑day period, the plan provides standard‑definition streaming on a single mobile device and was tailored for a mobile‑first market like India.

This initiative marked a global milestone—Amazon’s first standalone mobile-only plan—and was aimed at broadening access in a country with high mobile broadband penetration and a large prepaid mobile user base.
