A
Women gained more opportunities for employment and political participation.
💡 Explanation:
World War I created a labor shortage as men were mobilized for the war effort. This led to an increase in women's employment in various industries, including manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. Additionally, women's contributions to the war effort, such as serving as nurses and volunteers, raised awareness of their capabilities and led to demands for greater political rights.
