Answer:
D. All of the above
Explanation:
Text evidence for all 3 answers.
There was a decrease in production
The passage says, " At the same time, manufacturing and production were going down and unemployment was rising.
The statement, " production were going down " has the same meaning of decrease ( decrease meaning to go down ) in production.
Many investors began to panic.
In the passage it says this, " In the fall of 1929, investors began to panic. "
So the assumption that investors began to panic is true
There was also inflated stock prices
In the passage it states this, " Because so many people were investing in the market, stock prices increased and exceeded their actual value."
If you didn't know inflated means unreasonably high.
If the price of the stocks exceeded ( surpassed, passed ) their actual value then the stock price inflated.
Then at the end of the passage it says, " For these reasons, the market crashed..... The beginning of the Great Depression."
This proves that all three reasons stated had a big part of the market crash which led to the start of the era known as the Great Depression.
Therefore the answer is D. All of the Above
