D. The women were laid off

"Laid off" is a nice term.  "Fired" might be just as accurate in many cases.  Or in other cases, as industries converted back to peacetime purposes rather than wartime production, they refused to "rehire" women for the "new" jobs in the "new" factories.   There was a priority on giving jobs to men, especially veterans returning from the war.  And there was an emphasis on women returning to their "proper" place in the home.

D. They were laid off. Due to the lack of men in the industry at the beginning of WWII women stepped up and started working in factories and filling in for he men. When the war was won and the men came back women were not needed so they were all fired.
