Answer:
C. Hoover funded direct relief programs that created jobs for the unemployed.
Explanation:
Herbert Hoover was President of the United States between 1929-1933. He was business inclined and held office during the time of the Great Depression in America. This was a period of high unemployment, low profits in businesses and a decrease in economic growth. He made impacts in eradicating the Great Depression but it was all to no avail. Herbert created many programs, one of which was the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) to bring about relief to the economy's depression. He also established some trading polices.
Herbert played a great role in the Agricultural sector by approving the Agricultural Marketing Act to create consistency in the prices of farm produce. He loaned the farmers money to purchase food for their livestock.
He increased the Federal Budget to include the Health and protection of Children program.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act was implemented under FDR's New Deal and was meant to increase the price of crops. It's main shortcoming was that it "curtailed the agricultural output and affected exports."

A huge stretch of the population thus decided to move away from the nation to settle for better prospects and the majority chose US.
The US thus became swarmed with migrants from Ireland on its shore that wanted sanctuary.
