What was not a cause of the Great Depression?

A. Overproduction
B. Stock speculation
C. Under consumption
D. Foreign competition

C, under consumption
overproduction was a major issue as farmers industrialized
Stock speculation was a major issue, and the main cause of the great depression - People would invest in stocks without doing proper research.
Foreign competition, as a real 'global' economy developed, was a issue, and the world became extremely inter-linked as it is now; a economic crisis in one nation will affect countless others.
Under consumption was not really a contributing factor as people had more money to consume more items leading up to the great depression (1920's)

The option that was not a cause of the Great Depression is C. Underconsumption. Prior to the stock market crash, there was significant consumer spending, but this changed drastically post-collapse due to economic hardships. Other factors like overproduction, stock speculation, and foreign competition were more critical causes.
