Greater opportunities in the growing service industry.

Explanation: The expanding service sector (clerical, retail, education, healthcare, etc.) created many new job openings suited to women in the 1950s–60s. The other choices are inaccurate or less significant: returning servicemen reclaimed many factory jobs, and household appliances did not eliminate the domestic workload or fully explain women's move into paid work.
