The best description of the causes of the Dust Bowl is:<br /><br />C. a severe drought and the overuse of prairie farmland<br /><br />The Dust Bowl was primarily caused by a combination of severe drought conditions and poor agricultural practices, including the extensive plowing of the Great Plains, which removed the natural grasses that held the soil in place. This led to massive dust storms when strong winds blew across the barren fields.
