The correct answer is:

A. Great Depression

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Depression was the worst economic crisis in the world (1929-1939), and began right after the Roaring Twenties, a decade of economic wealth and prosperity, followed by the crash of Wall Street.

In the United States, citizens began to spend their money recklessly, they made important investments on an unregulated stock market, and stocks became overvalued while at the same time debts, unemployment and production prices began to decline, this unequal distribution of wealth was one of the contributing factors of the Great Depression.
