Answer 1

Hint: We are always curious to know about space hence we should know about the history of space. She is also the youngest woman in space and is a member of the Russian State Duma.

Step by step answer: lentina Tereshkova was the first woman to go into space. In 1963, she spent almost three days in space and orbited Earth 48 times in her space capsule, Vostok 6. That was her only trip into space. Tereshkova later toured the world to promote Soviet science and became involved in Soviet politics.
Rhea Seddon is a physician and retired NASA astronaut. After being selected as part of the first group of astronauts to include women, she flew on three Space Shuttle flights: as mission specialist for STS-51-D and STS-40.
Sally Kristen Ride was an American astronaut and physicist. She joined NASA and became the first American woman in space .Ride was the third woman in space overall.
Anna Lee Fisher is an emergency physician, and a former NASA astronaut. In 1984 she became the first mother in space.
Tereshkova became the first woman in space, just two years after Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space.
Hence the correct option is A.

Note: Tereshkova spent 70 hours in space and orbited Earth 48 times during her mission. Though an icon of Soviet space exploration, she never flew in space again and became a test pilot and instructor.
