Answer:

A) shantytowns in which homeless families lived during the Great Depression

Step-by-step explanation:

"Hoovervilles" were shantytowns in which homeless families lived during the Great Depression. Constructed out of scrap wood and tin, they were given this nickname because people blamed President Herbert Hoover's lack of action at the start of the Depression for the condition of many newly poor in the United States.
