Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Everyone was selling stocks and not buying them because they were losing faith in their stocks, and the stock market as a whole

this caused an ecconomic crash because everyone was losing money

and since, our country is founded on capitalism, if the companies and stock market don't do well, neither do we

I hope this is correct
