d. In the 5th century

Answer 1

Hint:
 Lady Trieu Au was a female warrior in Vietnam.

Complete step by step solution:
Trieu Au lived in the 3rd century. She was a female warrior in Vietnam and managed to resist the Chinese state of Eastern Wu during its occupation in Vietnam. She was orphaned in childhood and lived with her brother. She also left her home after growing up and went into the jungles. She organised a large army and continuously resisted Chinese rule.
When her army was crushed, she drowned herself. She was not just a martyr who fought for the honour of the country but became the first sacred figure. Her image was popularized by the Nationalists mainly to inspire people to actions.

Vietnam has been a country in the struggle since its birth, constantly facing natural calamities and foreign invasions. It was almost 10 centuries of Chinese domination and about 100 years of French colonialism. This forged the will of the Vietnamese to live independently and to preserve their identity. The first significant insurrections against foreign rule were led by women, Trung sisters followed by Trieu Thi Trinh being the first-ever women. Trieu Au is a national hero in Vietnam and a role model for generations.


Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
The origin of Vietnam has traced to a legendary kingdom reigned by mythical monarchs. For the next two centuries, the Chinese intensified their campaign to assimilate the Vietnamese. They replaced many of the local officials with their own administrators in order to form a loyal base of support.
