Shah Jahan Begum

The correct answer is Option 1- Shah Jahan Begum

Shah Jahan Begum was the Nawab of Bhopal that ruled from 1868 to 1901.

She was the only surviving child of Sikandar Jahan Begum, the previous Nawab of Bhopal. Shah Jahan Begum was recognized as the eighth ruler of Bhopal in 1844 at the age of six, but her mother wielded power as regent during her minority. In 1860, her mother was recognized by the British as ruler of Bhopal in her own right, and Shah Jahan was set aside.

However, after her mother's death in 1868, Shah Jahan Begum became the ruler of Bhopal. She was a popular and progressive ruler, and she introduced many reforms during her reign. She established schools and hospitals for women, and she also promoted women's education and employment.

Shah Jahan Begum was also a strong supporter of the Indian independence movement. She donated money to the Indian National Congress and other nationalist organizations. She also supported the Swadeshi movement.
