war?
a. wilson signed the selective service act, which required factories
to make goods for the war.

military service.
c. wilson signed the selective service act, which required women to
help the war effort.
d. wilson signed the selective service act, which produced
propaganda supporting the war.

Explanation:

The Selective Service Act of 1917, signed by Woodrow Wilson, established a draft system that required eligible men to register for and be selected for military service, directly mobilizing manpower for World War I. Options A, C, and D incorrectly describe the act's purpose: factory production was overseen by other war boards, women's war efforts were voluntary or through separate programs, and propaganda was managed by the Committee on Public Information, not this act.

Answer:

B. Wilson signed the Selective Service Act, which mobilized men into military service.
