The response that played the **BIGGEST** role in causing the Dust Bowl is:
**A) high demand for agricultural crops.**
During the 1920s, extensive farming practices and high demand for crops led to over-farming of the land, which contributed to soil degradation and erosion. This, along with severe drought conditions in the 1930s, resulted in the environmental disaster known as the Dust Bowl.
