b extensive deforestation
c high unemployment rates
d widespread pollution

Explanation:

The photograph shows a dust storm in Baca County, Colorado (1936), part of the Dust Bowl era. Poor soil management (over - plowing, improper farming practices) led to soil erosion, making the land vulnerable to dust storms. Extensive deforestation is more about tree loss (not the main Dust Bowl cause), high unemployment was an effect, and widespread pollution is unrelated. So the factor is poor soil management.

Answer:

A. Poor soil management
