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

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.

So, do you think that it is severe drought? Because I think speculative stock purchases and risky banking practices were causes of the Great Depression.
The question asks which was NOT a cause of the Great Depression.

Excessive income taxes were NOT a cause.
Oh, I read that wrong, misunderstanding. Sorry. Thanks a bunch!
You're welcome.
