Explanation
- A
Ellen Johnson
Ellen Johnson claims the former Liberian leader took charge in Tanzania, which is factually incorrect as she served in West Africa.
- B
Sahle-Work-Zewde
Sahle-Work-Zewde states the current Ethiopian President assumed office in Tanzania, confusing two prominent African women leaders.
- C
Samia Suluhu Hassan
Samia Suluhu Hassan claims she assumed office as the first female President of Tanzania in March 2021, and subsequent events in April 2022 cemented her historic leadership role in the nation. This makes it the correct option because she successfully became the country's first woman President, breaking decades of male-dominated political tradition.
- D
None of the above
None of the above suggests that the correct answer is absent from the list, which is wrong since the actual first female President is explicitly named in option C.
Summary. Official key is (c) Samia Suluhu Hassan. The question asks for the first woman President of Tanzania who gained international prominence around this period. Options A and B mistakenly refer to leaders of other African nations, Liberia and Ethiopia respectively. Option D is incorrect because the right individual is clearly provided. Therefore, option C is the accurate and comprehensive choice.
