Answer 1

Correct answer:  C. Both were the first female prime ministers of countries that had recently won their independence.

India gained its independence in 1947.  Indira Gandhi served as prime minister of India from 1966 to 1977, and again from 1980 to 1984.  Indira Gandhi has been the only woman to serve as prime minister of India.
