B. Hoovervilles
Explicación
## Step 1The question is asking for the term that describes the makeshift communities of shacks and temporary shelters built by homeless Americans during the Great Depression. ## Step 2The term "Hoovervilles" is used to describe these communities. They were named after Herbert Hoover, who was the President of the United States during the onset of the Great Depression. ## Step 3These communities were constructed by homeless people using scrap materials. They were a direct response to the economic hardships and the failure of government policies to provide adequate relief during the Depression. ## Step 4The other options, "Dust Bowl settlements," "Depression camps," and "Migrant quarters," do not accurately describe these specific communities. The Dust Bowl refers to a period of severe dust storms causing major ecological and agricultural damage in the American and Canadian Prairies. Depression camps and Migrant quarters are not specific terms used to describe these communities during the Great Depression.
