Solution

The correct option is A 1930
The decade between 1930 and 1940, saw long periods of severe droughts accompanied by extreme dust storms in North America
These dust storms severely damaged the ecology and agriculture of prairie regions of the United States and Canada and are characterized by severe wind erosion.
Hence the answer would be the 1930s i.e. option A.
