Explanation
The question is gauging the reader's comprehension of a passage that describes social changes in the United States during and after World War II. Here, it was noted that when the men left for war, women replaced them and took over their jobs domestically. When the men later returned from war, women were asked to "do their part," which references the norm of returning to their home duties as wives and mothers. The implication of the unresolved part marked in double quotes may relate differently according to individual interpretation, however, given factual consistency and societal status during the said time, the actual meaning was that women were required to relinquish their employed roles and reinstate the former religious and home space occupations. Comparing the resultant interpretation with the four presented options, the highlighted meaning directly marks option A. Hence, resigned from their jobs to allow the previously war-engaged men to resume those positions became their expected(description based) societal influencing factor hence "their part to help their country".
