According to the article, the U. S. Congress’ decision to create a National Women’s History Week sparked even more interest in teaching women's history at schools.

Which paragraph BEST supports the idea outlined above?

A
By the 1970s, there was a growing sense by many women that history as taught in school — and especially in grade school and high school — was incomplete. In addition to telling "his story," it should tell "her story" as well. In the United States, calls for inclusion of black Americans and Native Americans helped more women realize they were also invisible in most history courses.
B
The response was positive. Schools began to host their own Women's History Week programs. The next year, leaders from the California group shared their project at the Women's History Institute at Sarah Lawrence College in New York. Other participants were determined to begin their own local Women's History Week projects, and also agreed to support an effort to have Congress declare a national Women's History Week.
C
Three years later, in 1981, the U. S. Congress passed a resolution establishing National Women's History Week. Co-sponsors of the resolution, demonstrating bipartisan support, meaning from both major political parties, were Senator Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, and Representative Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat from Maryland.
D
This recognition encouraged even wider participation in Women's History Week. Schools focused for that week on special projects and exhibitions honoring women in history. Organizations sponsored talks on women's history. The National Women's History Project began distributing materials specifically designed to support Women's History Week, as well as materials to improve the teaching of history throughout the year, to include notable women and women's experience.
