B. They were both government-run construction programs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Both the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Public Works Administration were part of the New Deal during the Great Depression.
The Great Depression was a terrible time in history. Many people were losing their jobs, homes, businesses, farms, and could barely afford to eat. The economy was at a low and people were not buying items because they did not have money, which was going to continue to hurt the economy.
The New Deal was created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and is known for creating a series of programs in order to help the American people. Roosevelt's goal was to create jobs for the American people, then they would have money to spend in order to stimulate the economy.
Two of these programs were the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Public Works Administration. These were both government-run construction programs that were designed to help Americans during the Great Depression and help the economy.
