Which of the following gave the American economy a major boost in the years after World War II?

During World War II, factories focused on military production, and rationing limited many consumer purchases. After the war, Americans had savings and wanted cars, appliances, and other goods that had been scarce, creating pent-up demand and boosting the economy. The return of veterans and the shift to peacetime production also shaped the economy, but consumer demand was a major source of growth.
