    The most effective substitution for the phrase "This was probably due to" in this sentence is - This discrepancy can be attributed in part to. The correct option is Option C.

    Explanation:

    This particular sentence from the excerpt taken from the 2000 California Census is a person's opinion about the reason for a particular discrepancy.

    In the sentence, someone is stating that something must have happened because of the high unemployment rates in the timber-related industries in the year 2000 and thus, uses the phrase "This was probably due to" which indicates someone's own thoughts about something. Due to this, option C fits as the best substitution for this phrase.
