○ 2016–2017

Explanation:

A recession is defined as a decline in GDP (economic production/growth). By analyzing the U.S. GDP graph (2000-2020), we look for a period where the GDP line dips downward. The only interval where this occurs is 2008-2009, as the GDP shows a temporary decline after 2008 before resuming growth.

Answer:

2008–2009
