Explanation
The correct answer is C because Sarojini Naidu, popularly known as the Nightingale of India, was a prolific poet and a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement. Golden Threshold was her first collection of poems, published in 1905. Her literary work is characterized by its lyrical quality and vivid imagery, often focusing on themes of nature, patriotism, and daily life in India. While the other women listed were also significant figures in Indian history, they are not the authors of this specific collection.
