Answer
A
less industrial waste
B
an increase in jobs
C
more farmlands
D
a decrease in produce

Explanation

Roosevelt describes closed or failing businesses, farmers unable to sell their crops, lost savings, and many people without work. The passage presents unemployment as a major problem, so the needed change is an increase in jobs. More farmland or less produce would not address the problems described.
