Solution

The correct options are
A Close-fitting garments
C Shorter skirts
During the war, men participated in great numbers and women had to take up the responsibility of earning a livelihood. So they started working in factories where they found that their long, loose clothes hindered their work. Therefore, they started wearing small and narrow clothes according to their needs. With the improving economic condition and developing independent thought of women, their lifestyle changed too. They started wearing short clothes and also cut their hair short.
