Wangari Maathai is best known for her work in environmental conservation and sustainable development.

She founded the Green Belt Movement, a community-based tree-planting and environmental advocacy initiative that empowers women, restores forests and links livelihoods to ecological restoration [2]. Biographical and legacy accounts emphasize her promotion of ecological sustainability, democratic participation and social justice through grassroots environmental action, which culminated in the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize recognition for sustainable development. These sources make sustainable development the clear correct choice among the options.
