Answer:

b. Consumers bought too many goods they could not afford.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1920s consumption increased as mass production appeared, businesses began to offer credits to customers and people started buying things that they didn't need and that they couldn't afford. When the crisis began, people lost their jobs or their salaries were cut, consumption decrease drastically and they coudn't pay these credits.
