Correct answer: C
English During the pre-independence period in India, the early efforts for the spread of modern women's education were concentrated in major cities and port towns like Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras. These centers were the first to be influenced by Western education and missionary activities. Educational institutions established by reform movements (like Brahma Samaj and Arya Samaj) or by European missionaries began in urban areas before slowly spreading to other regions.
