Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is option C or "the U.S. stock market crash of 1929." The Great Depression begun because of the U.S stock market crash causing the economy to lose millions of investors. On top of that a great drought hit farmers and they weren't able to grow food to sell or buy, also many people try to withdraw money from their savings account and because there was so many people withdrawing money banks ran out of money and had to close down. Finally, because of the decreased international lending and tariffs the Great Depression began and was one of the worse economic downturn events that has ever happened in history.

Hope this helps.
