A student is developing a paragraph about the causes of the American Dust Bowl. Which fact is most relevant for developing this specific topic?
A
Severe drought in the 1930s combined with poor farming practices, like deep plowing that stripped away native grasses, left topsoil loose enough for the wind to carry off.
B
Cattle ranchers in the region often sold their herds during the 1930s because the dried-out land could no longer grow enough grass to feed the animals.
C
New government programs in the 1930s paid many farmers to plant trees and switch to methods that helped keep the soil in place afterward.
D
Many farm families felt heartbroken during the 1930s when they were forced to pack up and move west to look for new work.
