Solution
The correct option is B New Zealand
Universal Suffrage or Universal Adult franchise means that every Adult person has the right to vote irrespective of their caste, creed, colour, gender etc. On 19 September 1893 the British Governor of New Zealand, Lord Glasgow, gave assent to a new electoral act, which meant that New Zealand became the first British-controlled colony in which women had the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
