Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The sentence is an example of an introductory phrase followed by a main clause. The introductory phrase is "After the war," which sets the context or time frame for the main clause about Congress restocking the library's shelves. Therefore, the correct choice is B), which correctly separates the introductory phrase from the main clause with a comma.
