Solution

The correct option is B Andal
The Alvars were twelve saint-poets who worshipped Vishnu. Periyalvar, Nammalvar and Andal, the daughter of Periyalvar, are some of them. Andal was the only woman among the Alvars. A woman being a religious authority was something they could only dream of at that time.
