Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Although women’s suffrage was not fully achieved on a state-by-state basis by 1910, the attempts during this time did train a large group of female leaders and pave the way for future successes. Some states in the Northeast did grant women the right to vote in state elections, while attempts in the South and West were less successful due to conservative attitudes towards women’s rights. Therefore, option D is the most accurate statement.
