-
D.
Janaki Ramachandran
Correct Answer:
B. Sucheta Kriplani
Explanation:
Sucheta Kriplani was the first woman to serve as a Chief Minister in India. A prominent freedom fighter and politician, she was elected to lead the government of Uttar Pradesh in 1963, serving until 1967. While other notable women like J. Jayalalitha, Nandini Satpathy, and Janaki Ramachandran also served as Chief Ministers of various Indian states, their tenures began later than Kriplani's historic appointment. Therefore, Sucheta Kriplani holds the distinction of being the pioneer for women in this high-ranking political office at the state level in India.
