Correct answer: b

All three regimes responded to the Great Depression with heavy militarization and expansionist policies — rearmament, increased military production, and overseas aggression — as means to stimulate their economies and consolidate power. They did not become democratic (a), did not primarily focus on agriculture (c), and did not rely on foreign aid (d).
