I suppose D, although the weakening of the international demand for American goods was more the result of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which substantially increased tariffs on imported goods, and resulted in retaliation by a number of international trading partners.  One of the few things Franklin Roosevelt did correctly to ameliorate the Depression was sponsor legislation to repeal Smoot-Hawley, in 1934.
