**C. A severe drought destroyed many crops, and "Okies" were not welcome where they moved.**<br /><br />The Dust Bowl was primarily characterized by a devastating drought combined with unsustainable farming practices that led to massive dust storms. This destroyed crops, making it impossible for farmers to make a living. Many farmers, often called "Okies" regardless of their actual state of origin, migrated west seeking work and better conditions, but they often faced discrimination and hardship in their new locations.<br /><br />Option A, while true that families worked hard, doesn't capture the specific hardships of the Dust Bowl. Option B describes hardships more akin to industrial workers, not farmers during this period. Option D, while mentioning hardship, doesn't address the core problems of drought, crop failure, and migration that defined the Dust Bowl experience.<br />
