    The correct answer is option C. Rosie the Riveter was a cultural icon (not an actual person) of World War II, representing the women who worked in factories and shipyards during WWII, many of whom produced munitions and supplies.

    Despite having a proper name, Rosie does not represent a single woman, but thousands. At the beginning of the years 40, coinciding with the Second World War, many American men left their jobs to go to the front. The government then began a powerful campaign to persuade women to dealing their place in the factories.

    Over the years, a welter of American women have been identified as the model for Rosie, but it's believed that Naomi Parker Fraley, who worked during WWII at the Alameda Naval Air Station, is the real woman that inspired the icon.

    Rosie Riveter was a cultural icon, in the form of a poster girl, during World War II. Rosie was never an actual person. The posters represented women who worked in factories and shipyards taking on jobs to replace men who went to war, quoting: "you can do it".
