This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

Kanpur session, 1925

Sarojini Naidu became the first Indian woman to preside over the Indian National Congress at its Kanpur session in December 1925.

The Delhi session of 1918 was presided over by Madan Mohan Malaviya, the Gaya session of 1922 by C. R. Das, and the Madras session of 1927 by M. A. Ansari.

The earlier woman president, Annie Besant in 1917, was not Indian by birth.

Hence, Kanpur session, 1925.
