Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Annie Besant

Annie Besant is prominently associated with the Theosophical Society. An Irish socialist, women's rights activist, writer, orator, and philanthropist, she became a leading member of the Theosophical Society in 1889. She later moved to India and became its President in 1907, significantly expanding its influence and also becoming deeply involved in the Indian independence movement. Tarabai Shinde, Sarojini Naidu, and Savitri Bai Phule were also prominent figures in Indian social reform and freedom movements but were not primarily associated with the Theosophical Society.
