Solution

The correct options are
B Ghosha
C Mudgalini
D Vishwara
In the Rig Vedic society, there were no discriminatory practices in the society against women. In fact, many of them achieved great fame like Vishwara, Ghosha, Upala and Mudgalini. Many of these female scholars composed hymns of Rigveda. Polygamy wasn’t a common practice among the masses, except for with the nobles and kings. Likewise, there were no child marriage. The widows were not forced to be burnt as per the Sati system. The status of women deteriorated in the later Vedic period.
