The correct answer is C. Oklahoma’s first legislation granting women the right to serve on a jury was passed during Johnston Murray's administration.

Explanation:

Johnston Murray was an American politician and from 1951 to 1955 the 14th Governor of the State of Oklahoma.

Johnston Murray took up his new post on January 8, 1951. As governor, he was against tax increases. He wanted to run his state more economically than his predecessors. For this reason, the government apparatus was reorganized from the point of view of economy. He was mainly against money wastage. During his time, Oklahoma lost two seats in Congress due to a population decline. Therefore, the electoral districts for the congressional elections had to be redistributed. At that time, women were also given the right to serve as jurors in court.

After the end of his four-year term, Johnson Murray was a lawyer in Texas and Oklahoma. He was also legal counsel to the Oklahoma Ministry of Welfare.
