Question

When did economic depression occur in the world?

• A. In 1920--1922
• B. In 1922--1925
• C. In 1925--1926
• D. In 1929--1930

Hint:

Link the Great Depression to the 1929 stock market crash; recovery in many economies came only after 1933.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Great Depression began with the Wall Street Crash of October 1929 and then spread worldwide, causing severe declines in output, trade, employment, and prices.
Although the depression persisted through the early 1930s (many countries bottomed out around 1932--33), among the given options the onset period is best captured by 1929--1930.
Therefore, option (4) correctly indicates the time when the global depression started.
