Answer: C

The first woman to preside over the General Assembly was Smt. Vijaya Laxmi Pandit.

Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, Nehru's sister and head of India's delegation to the UN, was elected President of the eighth session of the General Assembly in 1953.

Angie Brooks of Liberia (the paper's 'Angle E. Brooks') was the second woman to hold the office, in 1969. Eleanor Roosevelt chaired the UN Commission on Human Rights but never presided over the Assembly, and Margaret Alva is an Indian politician who held no UN office of this kind.
