a. Women no longer worked in factories and could raise families.

Explanation: After WWII many servicemen returned home, wartime factory jobs were phased out, and social/economic conditions (GI Bill, prosperity, housing) encouraged early marriage and larger families. This shift of women back into homemaking was a major factor in the postwar baby boom.
