Explanation:

To answer this, we recall historical data about the Great Depression. During the Great Depression, the number of people caught hitching rides on trains (riding the rails as hobos) was more than 600,000. Option A (more than 900,000) is too high, B (100,000) and C (300,000) are lower than the actual documented figures.

Answer:

D. More than 600,000
