Solution

The correct option is A Dr. Rakhmabai Janardhan Save
Pandita Ramabai and Ramabai Ranade were pioneers of the feminist movement in India. They fought for the right to vote and right to education for women.

Dr. Anandibai Joshi was the first female doctor of our country but she did not practice medicine due to poor health.

Dr. Rakhmabai Janardhan Save was the first practising woman doctor in India. She had also started a branch of the Red Cross Society, at Rajkot.
