  1. 16th Amendment
  2. 19th Amendment

  4. 20th Amendment

Explanation
Answer: B - The 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1920, recognized women’s right to vote. The event marked the end of the first wave of the women’s rights movement, as many activists had been dedicated solely to ensuring voting rights were recognized. Though various secondary movements within the larger women’s movement would continue to operate, there wouldn’t be another widespread, generalized feminist movement for 40 years.
