The correct answer is D. The Great Depression.

Explanation

The Great Depression is the name of the greatest global economic crisis that occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, specifically in 1929 caused by the crash of the New York stock market and which spread throughout the world. During this time the "Dust Bowl" also occurred, a climatic catastrophe that occurred in the Midwest of the United States, in which the drought of the plains added with great wind currents produced great clouds of dust and sand. This caused large migrations of farmers to large cities. Consequently, the President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt implemented the "New Deal" a policy focused on counteracting the effects of the Great Depression in the United States between 1933 and 1938. According to the above, the three events presented correspond to the Great Depression. So the correct answer is D.
