Which problem increased in Germany due to the Great Depression of 1929?

Unemployment

The Great Depression began in 1929 and affected Germany severely because the country depended heavily on foreign loans and international trade. When the crisis spread, businesses closed or reduced production, banks faced failure, and many workers lost their jobs. Families experienced poverty and insecurity, while confidence in the Weimar government weakened. This difficult situation helped extremist parties, including the Nazis, attract more support by promising employment and national recovery.

Option B is correct because unemployment increased sharply during the Depression. The crisis did not primarily create sports competition, permanent prosperity, or an improvement in sea trade. Sea trade could also suffer in a general economic crisis, but the major textbook problem asked here is unemployment. Therefore, the clearest direct consequence was the growth of joblessness and poverty.
