Option-1: Rani Jethmalani is not the correct answer. She is a lawyer and activist, but she was not appointed as a judge to the Supreme Court.

Option-2: Anna George Malhotra is not the correct answer either. Although she achieved the milestone of becoming the first woman judge in the Delhi High Court in 1978, she was not appointed to the Supreme Court.

Option-3: M. Fathima Beevi is the correct answer. In 1989, she became the first woman judge to be appointed to the Supreme Court of India. Her appointment broke barriers and paved the way for more women to pursue careers in the judiciary.

Option-4: Leila Seth is not the correct answer either. She was the first woman to become a Chief Justice of a High Court in India, but she was not appointed to the Supreme Court.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option-3, M. Fathima Beevi.
