The correct answer is A. An increase in poverty  contributed to the Great Depression.

Explanation:

In the year, 1929 the stock market of the US crashed which contributed to the Great Depression. As a result of the crash, numerous companies filed for bankruptcy leading to thousands of jobs being lost.

As demand for goods and services decreased, there was an oversupply in the market which made things worse. Coupled with the Dust Bowl, farmers lost crops and were highly in debt-they too were forced into poverty.

All of this lead to a disastrous cycle of poverty which made the Great Depression even worse.
