The correct answer is Option 2: Argentina.

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner succeeded her husband, Néstor Kirchner, to become the President of Argentina. Néstor Kirchner served as the President of Argentina from 2003 to 2007, and after completing his term, Cristina Kirchner was elected as his successor and served as the President from 2007 to 2015.

Cristina Kirchner`s presidency marked a significant period in Argentina`s political landscape. She implemented several economic policies aimed at strengthening the country`s domestic industries and social welfare programs. During her tenure, Argentina experienced a period of economic growth and saw improvements in poverty reduction and social inclusion.

Furthermore, Cristina Kirchner`s presidency was also marked by controversies and political tensions. Her government faced allegations of corruption and mismanagement, which led to widespread protests and political divisions within the country. These controversies continue to have an impact on Argentine politics even after her presidency.

It`s important to note that the other options mentioned in the question are incorrect:

Option 1: Chile - Cristina Kirchner did not become the President of Chile. Chile has had different presidents, and as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Sebastian Piñera is the current President of Chile.

Option 3: Colombia - Cristina Kirchner did not become the President of Colombia. Colombia has had different presidents, and as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Iván Duque Márquez is the current President of Colombia.

Option 4: Venezuela - Cristina Kirchner did not become the President of Venezuela. Venezuela has had different presidents, and as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, Nicolás Maduro is the disputed President of Venezuela.

In conclusion, Cristina Kirchner succeeded her husband to become the President of Argentina, making Option 2 the correct answer.
