Let’s break it down:

- The first-ever motion to remove (impeach) a Supreme Court Justice in India was indeed signed by 108 Lok Sabha members.

- This motion was against Justice V. Ramaswami.

- The year was 1991—Justice Ramaswami was accused of financial irregularities, and the removal proceedings kicked off in Parliament that year.

- 1984: Nothing like this happened in that year as far as Supreme Court impeachment goes.

- 1978: Also not the year for any such motion.

- 1996: This was actually when the removal motion was finally discussed and voted in Parliament, but it was initiated in 1991.

So, the answer is:

Option 2: 1991
