Answer 1

The correct option is D Economic crisis

The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialised areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialised Western world. Factories shut down, exports fell, farmers were badly hit and speculators withdrew their money from the market.
