D) the stock market crash
The 1929 Wall Street crash is generally seen as the trigger that set off the Great Depression. However, underlying factors (WWI debt and reparations, bank failures, protectionism, unequal income distribution, the gold standard) made the economy vulnerable, and events like the Dust Bowl worsened the hardship. Government reforms (the New Deal) were responses, not causes.
