The most accurate response is:

Unemployment in cities was high, and jobs were given to whites first.

During the Great Depression, African Americans faced extreme discrimination in the labor market, with many jobs being prioritized for white workers. This systemic racism meant that even in urban areas, where jobs were scarce, African Americans struggled to find work, much like their counterparts in farming communities.
