During which period was the APTA's House of Delegates established?

Explanation:
The question tests how the APTA organized its governance as the profession expanded. The House of Delegates was created in the mid-20th century to give state chapters a formal voice in policy and leadership as the association grew after World War II. By the 1950s, it had become a well-established body that represents the membership nationwide and helps shape the direction of the profession, rather than relying on earlier informal structures from the 1920s or 1930s. That makes the 1940s-50s the period when the House of Delegates was established.
