Explanation

The correct answer is B because Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner served as the President of Argentina from 2007 to 2015. She succeeded her husband, Nestor Kirchner, who was the President of Argentina from 2003 to 2007. This transition made her the first elected female president of the country. Nestor Kirchner chose not to run for reelection in 2007, instead supporting his wife's candidacy. She later served as the Vice President of Argentina from 2019 to 2023.
