Question

which was a new deal program instituted by franklin roosevelt?
○ the deregulation of banks and businesses
○ the collection of \hardship payments\
○ federal relief for the unemployed
○ federal relief for speculators

Explanation:

The New Deal programs under Franklin Roosevelt aimed to provide relief, recovery, and reform during the Great Depression. Deregulation of banks/businesses was not part of the New Deal (in fact, there was more regulation like the Glass - Steagall Act). Collecting “hardship payments” was not a New Deal program, and relief for speculators goes against the New Deal's goals as speculators contributed to the economic collapse. Federal relief for the unemployed, such as through programs like the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), was a key New Deal initiative to help those out of work.

Answer:

C. federal relief for the unemployed
