Answer: A) 1690

The newspaper titled "Publick Occurrences Both Forreign and Domestick" was first published on September 25, 1690 in Boston, Massachusetts. Though after the first edition it was suppressed.

Note: the typos in the title are likely because back then spelling standards weren't widely accepted, or perhaps that's how they spelled those words back then.
