B) Women played prominent roles in the war, ranging from working as nurses to supporting the freedman's aid movement.

Women played prominent and important roles in the war as in the beginning of the war, a little number of nurses were volunteering as nurses but after the battle of Bull Run, a nurse corp was developed by the woman to offer their services voluntarily. Clara Barton was one of famous nurse at that war. Freedom Aid Movement was also a big service of the women during this war as they send money, teachers, clothes and other things to the South to assist the slaves.
