Answer:

The correct answer is: B: Held national lotteries for new recruits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan) and the Allies (United Kingdom, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and China), initiated processes that were almost historical for them in drafting recruits for the armies they would need to fight during World War II. The common denominator for them is that almost all, particularly the U.S., and Germany, initiated a series of conscription processes to enlist civilians into their armies in preparation for war. In the case of Germany, for example, Hitler established forceful conscription and lotteries for all men after 1935, and even established places within the forces for children and women. The United States, another example, instituted the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, with which required all men between the ages of 21 to 45 to register for a national draft. Then, the minimum age was lowered to those 18 and older. Similar movements were taken by countries of either band.
