Answer 2

The correct answer is d.

Step-by-step explanation:

The New Deal was a policy enacted by president Franklin D. Roosevelt between 1933 and 1936. Following the Great Depression of 1929, the Roosevelt government created a series of programs of massive public investment and government intervention aimed to recover the economy and provide jobs for the unemployed. As part of these programs, the Public Works Administration (PWA) was a government agency created in 1933 to build public infrastructure, such as roads, dams, bridges and airports. The PWA built nothing by itself, however, as the government hired companies to provide the required goods and services. In total, the PWA awarded contracts worth over 7 billion dollars between 1933 and 1944.
