what did the selective service act mean for americans?

a. only white men could be drafted.

b. women and men could be drafted.

c. men could be drafted into the army.

d. men would be paid to volunteer.

Explanation:

The Selective Service Act (typically associated with conscription in the US) established a system for drafting men into the military. Option A is incorrect as the draft was not limited to white men. Option B is wrong as women were not drafted under this act (historically, the draft was male - focused in the context of this act). Option D is incorrect because the Selective Service Act was about conscription (drafting), not paying men to volunteer. So the correct answer is C.

Answer:

C. Men could be drafted into the army.
