Solution

The correct option is B Women's Christian Temperance Movement
The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was founded in November 1874 in Cleveland, Ohio. After Frances Willard took over leadership in 1879, the WCTU became one of the largest and most influential women’s groups of the 19th century by expanding its platform to campaign for labor laws, prison reform and suffrage. The Eighteenth Amendment was passed primarily because of a crusade led by the Women's Christian Temperance Movement. The Eighteenth Amendment, popularly known as Prohibition, was the longtime goal of the temperance movement.
