Answer:
The correct answer is option D. "A severe drought made it impossible for many farms to water their crops".
Explanation:
Between 1870 to 1900, a series of severe droughts made it impossible for many farms to water their crops in the northeastern U.S., which caused an agrarian crisis in that region. This crisis brought economic hardship to many farmers, who also faced an increase in price competition from producers abroad who had the advantage of the international market opportunities.
