Answer 1

The correct answer is letter D.

Explanation: Hoover adopted the behavior typical of a Keynesian textbook after the stock market crash. He immediately cut income tax rates by 1 percent (valid for fiscal year 1929) and began to increase federal spending by 42 percent between the 1930s and 1932 tax years.
