Correct: He urged local governments to create jobs, and he created public works projects.
Hoover promoted local/state and private relief (voluntarism) and supported federal public-works spending (e.g., Hoover Dam) to create jobs. The other two are incorrect: he did not decrease import taxes (he signed the Smoot–Hawley Tariff, which raised tariffs), and while he did approve tax increases in 1932, that was not a measure to help people survive the Depression.
