The woman suffrage movement began in 1848, when a women’s rights convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York.

And in 1920, due to the collaborated efforts of National Women’s Party (NWP) and National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), the 19th Amendment was ratified. It was the single largest extension of democratic voting rights in our nation’s history, and it was achieved peacefully, through democratic processes.
Susan B. Anthony, an American social reformer and human rights activist who played a pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement said, “We ask justice, we ask equality, we ask all the civil and political rights that belong to citizens of the United States, be guaranteed to us and our daughters forever.” Women, across the globe has fought for the fundamental rights that include the right to live free from slavery, violence, and discrimination; to be educated; to vote; to own property and to earn a fair and equal wage.

A is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a gerund phrase too. B is incorrect because a prepositional phrase cannot be a verb phrase as well. D is incorrect because 'to toss' is not a prepositional phrase, but rather an infinitive.
