Solution

The correct option is A Laxmi Lakra
Laxmi Lakra was the first woman to join the Northern Railways in India as an engine driver and the second woman to join the Central Railways, only after Surekha Yadav. Laxmi Lakra hailed from Jharkhand and is an inspiration to many, because she broke the stereotype by choosing a male dominated profession.
