Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is A. One of the responsibilities of the Farm Security Administration was the documentation project that resulted in photographs of towns during the Depression.

Explanation:

The Farm Security Administration (FSA) was a company that was created in the US in 1935 under the New Deal. Its purpose was to help America's rural poor population. The FSA supported the acquisition of marginal lands, field work with modern machines and collectivization.

In 1935, FSA launched a photographic campaign in which a number of photographers joined the sociological and documentary program. Its task was to compile documentation of social problems in the southern states of the United States. Its main characteristics were the emphasis on realism, the effort without embellishment to capture things as they were, the coexistence of poverty and suffering, a clear moral attitude, and finally the very awareness of the specificity of this medium. Photographers employed by the company have created approximately 1,600 color photographs that capture life in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
