Answer: the rapid rise of flapper fashions.
Explanation: The 1921 question reflects anxiety that traditional ideals of sweetness, modesty, and innocence were being replaced by the new, more liberated flapper image (short skirts, bobbed hair, smoking/dancing, freer social behavior). The other choices (silent-film portrayals, WCTU lifestyle, women bootlegging) are less central to a broad cultural fear about changing feminine appearance and manners in the 1920s.
