A. The Prohibition Amendment was finally passed

This is incorrect because this amendment (18th) was passed in 1919 and wasn't repealed until 1933. The Great Depression did not begin until October 29, 1929, this date is known as "Black Tuesday", when the economy crashed and people lost all the money they had.
