The period immediately following the recession in late 1940s witnessed a sharp decline in unemploment rate (from 8% to about 3%) as shown by the slope of the blue line after the peak.
In comparison, the period immediately following the recession in early 1990s witnessed an increase in unemploment rate (from 6.5% to about 7.7%) as shown by the upward slope of the blue line to reach the peak.
Hence period following the recession ending in the late 1940s was characterized by a steep decline in civilian unemployment rates.
ANSWER: a steep decrease

We’re looking for peaks in the unemployment rates (blue line) in relation to recessions (shaded area). There’s a pattern of a peak always close to the right end of the shaded area, thus, as per the graphic, highest rates are seen nearest the end of a recession.

Based on the information in the graph, the period immediately following the recession ending in the late 1940s, compared with the period immediately following the recession ending in the early 1990s, was characterized by [A STEEP DECREASE/A STEEP INCREASE/NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE] in civilian unemployment rates.
This is tricky. Intuitively one can go initially to the “steep increase” alternative (myself included) since the curves are steepen post-recession late 1940s and 1990s. But, prompt asks for period immediately following the recession ending in the late 1940s, compared with the period immediately following the recession ending in the early 1990 - so we have to compare late 1940s post-recession rate of about 8% with 1990s post-recession rate about 6%, which, in comparison, shows a steep decrease in value.
