The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Madras.

• The Ryotwari system was first started in the Madras Presidency of British India.
• It was a land revenue system introduced in British India, by Sir Thomas Munro. 
• It involved the direct collection of land revenue from individual cultivators, known as "ryots," by the British government.
