Correct Answer is :

D. Sumayyah bint Khayyat (R.A)

Description:

The first martyr in Islam is Sumayyah bint Khayyat (R.A).

Sumayyah bint Khayyat (R.A) was among the earliest converts to Islam and faced severe persecution for her faith.

She, along with her husband Yasir and son Ammar, were tortured by the Quraysh in Makkah. Despite the brutal treatment, Sumayyah (R.A) remained steadfast in her belief.

Abu Jahl, one of the fiercest opponents of Islam, eventually killed her, making her the first martyr in Islamic history. Her sacrifice exemplifies the early struggles and resilience of the Muslim community in the face of oppression.
