Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ All \ of \ the \ above}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Prior to World War II, the United States was amid a severe economic turndown, known as the Great Depression.

The war actually helped lift the country out of recession by boosting jobs and manufacturing to create all the materials needed for war. This propelled the nation into an economic boom.

As soldiers returned home from war and people became hopeful for the economy and future, they began having children. This led to a phenomenon called the baby boom.

More children were born, families grew, and people wanted to settle down. New housing was required, and the perfect location was the suburbs. They were in between the crowded, bustling cities and the remote countryside, plus they attracted people with affordable homes.

So, post-war, the US experienced a baby boom, economic boom, and suburb boom. Therefore, all answer are correct.
