Explanation:

Harding's pro-business policies (tax cuts for corporations/wealthy, reduced regulation) stimulated short-term economic growth, pulling the U.S. out of the 1920-1921 recession. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: his policies favored business owners over workers/farmers, widened inequality, and the U.S. remained a creditor nation post-WWI rather than eliminating debt via his policies.

Answer:

B. Harding's economic policies helped the United States recover from a recession in the short term.
