which new employment opportunities became available for women during the war?
a. work in education as teachers
b. work in hospitals as nurses
c. work as soldiers in active combat
d. industrial work in factories as welders or mechanics

Explanation:

During wars, many men were sent to the front - lines, creating a labor shortage in industries. Women filled these gaps and took on industrial jobs like welding and mechanics in factories. Teaching and nursing were already traditional female - dominated occupations before wars. And women generally did not serve in active combat roles in the past during most wars.

Answer:

D. Industrial work in factories as welders or mechanics
