Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Women like Mary McCauley carried pitchers of water to soldiers in the field, is the right answer.

The last half of the eighteenth century was a period in which the American Revolution took place. During this period, the Thirteen Colonies of America obtained independence from the British Empire. Women actively participated in the American Revolution. Their contribution can be seen in the fact that women like Mary McCauley brought containers of water to veterans in the field.
