The best choice is the fourth statement: "The Dust Bowl impacted the economies of Texas's rural and urban communities."
Why: the Dust Bowl hit the Texas Panhandle and other rural areas hard (crop failures, foreclosures, mass migration), and those losses reduced demand and labor in towns and cities as people left or needed relief. The second and third statements are incorrect about location/severity (it mainly struck the Panhandle, not East Texas), and the first is wrong because effects spread beyond just rural populations into urban economies.
