The WPA hired unemployed people during the Great Depression to build and improve public works, including roads, bridges, schools, and other public facilities. Bringing electricity to rural areas is more closely associated with the Rural Electrification Administration, while conservation work was a major role of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Therefore, the correct choice is improving infrastructure and public facilities.
