World War II had a significant impact on Hoosier workers, particularly by increasing opportunities for women and African Americans. The correct response is:

Women and African Americans had more opportunities.

During the war, labor shortages due to mobilization efforts led to increased demand for workers in factories, and both women and African Americans entered the workforce in greater numbers to fill these roles. This marked a significant shift in job opportunities and societal roles during that period.
