d. experienced the rationing of scarce consumer goods such as gasoline.

Explanation:

During the war, Americans experienced the rationing of scarce consumer goods such as gasoline. Since the United States entered World War II, things became very different at home. Rationing is controlling the distribution of scarce consumer goods. Food was a scarce good since it was needed in the front. So were automobiles and weapons. Car factories started to build weapons and automobiles that could be used in the front.
