What was the economic effect of the Great Depression on America’s farmers?

During the Great Depression, crop prices and farm incomes fell sharply, leaving many farmers unable to meet their financial obligations. As a result, they often could not pay taxes or repay loans they had borrowed. Choice B describes this economic hardship; stripping grasses from the soil, as in C, was related to farming practices and the Dust Bowl, not the main financial effect asked about.
