Answer: d. Selective Service and Training Act.

Explanation:

The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, was also known as the Burke-Wadsworth Act, based on the names of the two members of Congress that introduced it to Congress. This act was the first time in United States history that conscription was established during peacetime, requiring men between 21 and 35 years old to register in the draft boards.
