Wyoming Territory became the first area of the United States to grant women the right to vote.

Option A

Explanation:

In early history, women were not allowed to vote. However, everyone must have equal rights. Keeping this in mind, in July 1848, women got together and fought collectively for their rights. After a long time in the 1870s, Congress voted on the amendment by granting right to vote for women. "Wyoming territory" was the first state which allowed the women to vote in the US during the Wyoming suffrage act of 1869 under the 19 amendment also known as "Susan B Anthony amendment" under which the right to vote was not discriminated based on the gender and women were allowed to vote.
