Answer 1

Option C. is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Unemployment in the form of underemployment which lead to extreme poverty, was the major effect of Great Depression which was felt in Central Europe especially in Poland, Austria and Hungary. The output from the industries fell drastically low.

Increased Tariffs also restricted the trade between the countries which made the economic situation worse. As Germany was paying huge restitution charges and war debts, it was susceptible to the Great Depression. Banks crashed in Germany.

There were increased levels of inflation (cost of goods were high) which decreased the purchasing power of the people in Austria.
