None of the above.
- Al Capone was convicted in 1931 (well into Hoover’s presidency) and Hoover did not personally lead that effort.
- Federal arts/literature funding programs (e.g., the WPA projects) were created under FDR in the 1930s, not by Hoover.
- Hoover opposed large-scale federal direct relief; he favored voluntary/local relief and limited public works early on.
- Major regulation of business practices that helped cause the Depression (e.g., the SEC, Glass–Steagall) came with the New Deal under FDR.
