b. consumers demanded more goods.
c. consumer demanded less expensive goods.

The correct answer is alternative A) "Consumers demanded fewer goods."

The Great Depression took place in the 1920s, and it was one of worsts economical crisis the US has ever seen. During an economical crisis, it's normal for people to have less money, or at least spend it more wisely. Because of the decreased economical power of the population, the demand for goods also decreased, which further slowed the economy down.

Less demand, means less production is necessary, which means cut offs, which means unemployment, which means less money for the people. That's why decreased demand slows down the economy.
