The correct answer is C. In the first two decades of the 20th century the rural population of the United States started to move into the cities, as the increasing industrialization generated more and better jobs in the industrial sector rather than the rural ones.

During that period there have been events such as the Great Migration, which involved African-Americans moving from the rural Southern states to the industrial cities in the north of the United States.
