Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rani Gaidinliu.
Rani Gaidinliu was a courageous Naga freedom fighter from Northeast India who began her struggle against British colonial rule at the age of 13 by joining the Heraka movement, which aimed to revive indigenous culture and resist British oppression. After the execution of her cousin and leader Haipou Jadonang, she took over the leadership and led an armed revolt against the British. Captured at 16, she was imprisoned for 14 years. Jawaharlal Nehru, impressed by her bravery, gave her the title "Rani" (Queen). After India’s independence, she continued to work for her people’s cultural preservation and upliftment. She remains a symbol of resistance and tribal pride in the North-East.
