Answer:

D. Women worked all kinds of jobs traditionally held by men.

Step-by-step explanation:

During World War 2, the American conscription system only allowed adult males to be conscripted into war. This meant many businesses had suffered a major decrease in employment. This was replaced by women who were not conscripted and they had occupied the jobs of factory workers, nurses, mechanics, etc.
