Which one of these was not the causes of the Great Depression?

Question

excessive income taxes

speculative stock purchases

risky banking practices

severe drought

I think it is excessive income taxes or severe drought. But I don't think it is severe drought because of the Dust Bowl. But I'm not 100%. So, if someone would just clarify for me I would appreciate it. Thank you.
