The correct response is: A concentration of wealth led to less spending across the economy.
This option indicates that as wealth became concentrated in the hands of a few during the 1920s, less money circulated within the broader economy, which contributed to reduced consumer spending. This decline in spending was one of the factors that helped to trigger the Great Depression.
