Fix $t$ and put $\sigma =t\wedge \tau$. The stopping time property implies that $\sigma$ is an ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable random variable with values in $[0,t]$: for $s<t$,and for $s\ge t$ the event is the whole space. By part (c), the restriction of $X$ to $[0,t]\times \Omega$ is $\mathcal{B}([0,t])\otimes {\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable.

The evaluation map $\omega \mapsto (\sigma (\omega ),\omega )$ is measurable from $(\Omega ,{\mathcal{F}}_t)$ to this product space: the inverse image of a measurable rectangle $A\times C$ is $\{\sigma \in A\}\cap C$. Composing it with the jointly measurable stochastic process gives an ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable random variableSince this holds for every fixed $t$, the stopped process is adapted. If path regularity holds only almost surely, first apply the proof to its pathwise regular representative; with a completed filtration, the original stopped variable differs only on a null event and is also ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable. The adaptedness of a stopped right-continuous process requires neither boundedness of $\tau$ nor a martingale assumption; $\tau =\infty$ is harmless because $t\wedge \tau \le t$.

Fix $t>0$ and partition $[0,t]$ into $m$ equal intervals, with $r_k=kt/m$. Round $t\wedge T$ upward within this interval. The corresponding sampled value isEvery time in this sum is at most $t$. The stopping time property makes each indicator function ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable, while the adapted process property makes each sampled value ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable. Consequently $Y_m$ is ${\mathcal{F}}_t$-measurable.

The rounded times approach $t\wedge T$ from the right, so right continuity gives $Y_m\to X_{t\wedge T}$ for the chosen pathwise càdlàg version. If path regularity is instead stated only almost surely, the usual complete filtration handles the exceptional null set; on an incomplete filtration one should formulate that case as existence of an adapted version. At $t=0$, the value is simply $X_0$. Thus $X^T$ is an adapted process, by adaptedness of a stopped right-continuous process. The argument actually needs neither the martingale property nor boundedness of $T$.
