• A. Victory Gardens
• B. Public parks
• C. Urban Farms
• D. None

Answer: (A)

Growing one’s own food to support the war effort was done through Victory Gardens. These were a nationwide push to offset the food needed to feed the Allied forces by increasing home-grown produce. Families, schools, and communities planted vegetables and fruits in backyards, schoolyards, and even public spaces, turning gardening into a patriotic duty and a practical way to conserve resources for soldiers overseas. Government campaigns encouraged planting, canning, and sharing with neighbors, helping to raise morale and supply. The term Victory Gardens specifically captures this organized, widespread effort, even though spaces like parks might host gardens, the movement is defined by that name.
