Explanation

The WPA (Works Progress Administration) hired unemployed people during the Great Depression to build and improve public works, including roads, bridges, schools, and other public facilities. Natural resource conservation was more closely associated with the Civilian Conservation Corps, while bringing electricity to rural areas was a goal of the Rural Electrification Administration. So the correct choice is improving infrastructure and public facilities.
