Answer 2

C. She is the first person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for work in education.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is wrong: Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi, an Indian children's rights campaigner, were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She was the youngest recipient of this award at the age of 17. Malala said, “This award is not just for me. It is for those forgotten children who want education. It is for those frightened children who want peace. It is for those voiceless children who want change.”

B. is also wrong: Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicita von Suttner, formerly Countess Kinsky von Chinic und Tettau, was the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1905.

C. This is right: Malala fought for her rights and the rights of women to speak out about women's education rights when she was only 15 years old.

D. Is wrong: Malala is Pakistan's second Nobel laureate, after famous physicist Abdus Salam, who earned the prize in 1979 for his work in the area.
