Answer 1

The correct statement that describes a successful cattle woman from Texas is: "Anna Mebus Martin co-owned and managed the King Ranch, in addition to donating money for the founding of churches and a town."

While Henrietta King and Molly Goodnight were notable figures in Texas cattle history, Anna Mebus Martin is specifically recognized for her role in co-managing the King Ranch and her philanthropic contributions. Lizzie Johnson was indeed an influential cattlewoman, but the statement about Molly Goodnight being the sole owner of the JA Ranch is inaccurate as she ran it alongside her husband, and the claim about her leading a cattle drive is not well-documented.
