Explanation:

Each option presents a cause - effect relationship. We need to find the one that clearly defines both a cause and its corresponding effect. Option A just states an outcome of the opening of the Panama Canal. Option B shows a single - step cause - effect related to the Spanish - American War. Option C links the Treaty of Versailles to the start of World War II. Option D clearly shows the cause (1929 stock - market crash) and its effect (the Great Depression in the US), fulfilling the requirement of the question.

Answer:

D. The 1929 stock - market crash set off the Great Depression in the United States.
