The correct answer is B: It provided educational and housing benefits to returning veterans.
The GI Bill of Rights, officially known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, provided a range of benefits to returning World War II veterans, including funding for education, home loans, and unemployment compensation. These benefits enabled millions of veterans to acquire higher education, purchase homes, and integrate into civilian life, greatly contributing to the post-war economic expansion in the United States. By investing in education and housing, the GI Bill helped to stimulate economic growth, increase the skilled workforce, and promote consumer spending.
