Answer:

B. Groups of makeshift homes in shantytowns

Step-by-step explanation:

The ''Hoovervilles'' were groups of makeshift homes in shantytowns. They were made under the initiative of President Hoover, which is why they got that name. The reason why they were made was because of the Great Depression. The country was in a very bad situation, the inflation rates big, lot of companies closed down, and lot of people were left without job and without their homes. This led to the poverty rates and homelessness rates to skyrocket, so the ''Hoovervilles'' were supposed to be a temporary solution until the situation stabilizes.
