Answer:

C. It forbade discrimination by race in defense industries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Executive Order 9981 issued by President Harry S. Truman on July 26, 1948, abolished discrimination "on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin" in the U.S. military. It led to the end of segregation in the military during the Korean War (1950-1953).
