Answer:

D: Religious persecution  motivated Brigham Young and his Mormon followers to cross the plains and establish a community in the west.

Explanation:

In 1844, Mormon's founder and prophet 'Joseph Smith' was murdered. Since then, they were continuously facing mob violence in Illinois, place where they were settling initially. Then, these Mormons extended their support to Brigham Young who was a new leader.

Brigham Young and his members (Church of Jesus Christ) moved to Utah's 'Great Salt Lake' Valley and settled there. They had moved to avoid religious discrimination. Today, their population is around 2 million in Utah.

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
