The correct answer is: "save" Capitalism.

The "New Deal" was a series of reforms made in the US government administration that was enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the period between 1933 and 1936. Its purpose was to serve as a relief for the citizens of the country after the Great Depression of 1929.

This series of reforms established a framework under which private entities could operate. The government entities that were created served as regulators for entities that worked under certain industries. As well as providing a system by which workers could assign a part of their income in order to save for retirement (Social Security Administration).
