Hello there!

The correct answer is a) Ann Richards.

Explanation:

Ann Richards was the 45th Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995 and she was the second female governor of this state.

Before being elected, she was the Texas State Treasurer in 1988.

During her government period, she reformed the Texas prison system in which she established a substance abuse program for prisoners and this helped to reduce the number of violent offenders. Besides, this program increased prison space to deal with a bigger prison population.

Among other positive achievements, she supported the proposals to reduce the sale of semi-automatic firearms in the state.
