Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Wagner Act of 1935 strengthened the rights of workers to unionize and engage in collective bargaining. As a result, unionization levels increased dramatically in the 10 years following its passage. By the end of the 1940s, approximately one-third of all non-agricultural workers in the United States were union members.
