Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
During the First World War, black soldiers served in various capacities including the signal corps, as Army lawyers, and as intelligence officers. However, they were not allowed to serve as pilots in the aviation corps. The U.S. military did not train or allow African American pilots until the creation of the Tuskegee Airmen program during the Second World War.
