The statement that best critiques the Allied powers’ political decisions in mobilizing their populations is:
The decision to allow women to work in the war industries without training led to a decline in the industries’ productivity.
This critique highlights a specific challenge related to the mobilization of a significant segment of the population (women) and suggests that decisions made without adequate preparation or support had negative consequences for productivity in wartime industries, which reflects a critical perspective on the political decisions of the Allied powers.
