the answer is "C"
They volunteered to help the government plan production goals.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) They volunteeered to help the government plan production goals.

During World War II, the American economy was structured very different than usual. Instead of little government involvement in the decisions of big business, the two worked together. In this case, the federal government and big businesses discussed what supplies and resources would be necessary to produce to ensure that the American military could continue to have success in the European and Pacific Theaters.

This resulted in many businesses adjusting their production goals and what products they were producing in their factories.
