tenements were apartments in poor conditions shared by many people and were overcrowded. They had communal bathrooms they had to share and consisted of very poor families. These were popular during the Great Depression because of the terrible economy in which poverty was at an all time high.

The answer is A.) Crowded and unsanitary apartment buildings where two-thirds of the city's population lived.

Hope this helps :)
