Why did the Freedmen's Bureau operate longer than the year that was originally planned?

The Freedmen’s Bureau was originally expected to operate for only a year, but formerly enslaved people faced many complex needs, including finding work, obtaining education, and resolving legal disputes. Addressing these problems took longer than expected, so the Bureau continued operating beyond its planned year. The correct choice is “The issues it addressed were more complicated than expected.”
