Anya Trevino · Answer 2

The correct option is A.

The stock market crash of 1929 totally crippled the American economy. This is majorly because both individual and corporate investors had put their money in the stock market. When the stock market crashed all these people lose their money but the effect is more pronounced on the poor in the society. This is because most of the individual investors in the stock market borrowed money to buy those stocks. The stock market profits move to an unbelievable heights before it crashed down to the very ground.
