The correct answer is C. Besides giving young men a job, one of the primary purposes of the Civilian Conservation Corps was reforestation and land conservation.
Explanation:
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a job creation scheme for the young unemployed from 1933 to 1942 organized by the federal government of the United States. The CCC was the largest program under the New Deal. Over a period of nine years, 3,463,766 volunteers worked on the public infrastructure under the direction of reserve officers of the US Army. The program ended after the United States entered World War II. The focus was on road construction, river fortifications, afforestation, the installation of forest fire observation towers and the fight against forest fires, tourist infrastructure in national parks, state parks and other protected areas and memorial sites, irrigation systems for livestock and wetland drainage for agriculture.
