It can't be A, because the crash didn't really cause wars.

It can't be B, because no nation just "closed" their own stock trading. In fact, this isn't really how things work, even.

It can't be D, because the United Nations would not refuse to trade with other countries. Trading with other countries is part of the international politics of every single country.

So, truly, the answer is C, Many nations relied on US investment capital that dried up after the crash.
