Which statement best describes the new deal? a) it caused the greatest economic boom the nation had ever seen. b) it single-handedly brought the nation out of the great depression. c) it greatly increased the size and importance of the national government. d) it led directly to a tremendous increase in the rights of african-americans, especially in the south. eliminate

I believe the answer is: C)It greatly increased the size and importance of the national government

In the new Deal, the national government created several programs to directly help the citizens in many aspects of their life (including the help to obtain jobs, pay their mortgage, obtain education, food stamps, loan, ect)

For new deal to happen, the tax payment in the country must be increased to pay for the programs which greatly increased the size and the role of government in citizen's life.
