Women served with courage on the battlefields, and they sought to be rewarded by being granted the right to vote.
B
New job opportunities opened up for women during the war, allowing them to take on new roles and gain public appreciation.
C
The large number of battlefield casualties resulted in not enough voters being available to take part in elections.
D
Legislators around the world agreed that if women had been able to vote, World War I would never have happened.

Explanation

During World War I, many women took on jobs and responsibilities that had previously been held mostly by men, including work in factories and public services. Their contributions increased public recognition of women’s abilities and strengthened arguments for political equality, including the right to vote. The other choices give explanations that are inaccurate or do not account for the broader growth of women’s voting rights.
