Explanation

By the end of World War II, wartime production had greatly expanded U.S. industry and employment, bringing the country fully out of the Great Depression. The United States had also emerged with enormous productive capacity and relatively little damage to its own industry, making it one of the world’s most powerful economies. Therefore, “It was one of the most powerful economies in the world” is the best description.
