Answer 2

Answer: c. California.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Dust Bowl and the so-called "Okie" migration of the 1930s drove many of the over a million recently displaced people, to travel to California's Central Valley looking for farm labor jobs.

The drought and depression developed on the Great Plains forced many farmers to leave their land, and they would go west following relatives who had migrated to the coastal regions.
