A Correct answer
Explanation

'Widow' is defined as a woman whose husband has died. 'Widower' is specifically a man whose wife has died (gender matters here). 'Dowry' is property/money brought by a bride to her husband, and 'Numismatist' is a coin collector. 'Widow' is the correct and precise term for a woman whose spouse has died.
