- The original segment "only a daughter" implies Madhu is one of potentially many daughters, which might not convey the intended meaning.

- Option 1: "the only" suggests Madhu is the singular daughter, meaning she has no siblings. This improves clarity and specificity.

- Option 2: "only one" could imply she's one among others, lacking clarity about exclusivity.

- Option 3: "No substitution required" would keep the original unclear meaning.

- Option 4: "an only one" is grammatically incorrect and awkward, lacking clarity.
