Divorced, single-parent households and unmarried mothers became far more common.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Between 1960 and 2000, the family structure of Americans saw several changes. Till 1960s, most families were the traditional stay-at-home moms and working fathers families. After 1960, the scenario changed as more and more women started working.

The society had families where both parents were working and shared the household work. Eventually, women started having kids out of marriage and single-parent families are evolved. The high divorce rates in the society also resulted in divorced and single-parent household emerging.
