A
112
B
911
C
211
D
911
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When you need a fire brigade or an ambulance, you thus call the emergency number 112 (or 100). When you call the emergency number 112 in India for the police, you are redirected to the emergency number 100. Because of this, valuable time is saved for dialing multiple numbers.

Detailed explanation-2: -112 is only for emergency assistance. If you call the number for another reason, it is considered abuse (if you do it intentionally) or misuse (if you do it accidentally).

Detailed explanation-3: -The introduction of 112 would now replace the use of 100 for police, 108 for health (ambulance) services, 101 (fire) and women grievances 1090.
