The statement tells us that we cannot be sure if the stimulus policy reduced the severity of the recession. However, we do know that the recession was less severe than the Great Depression, which means that the policy might have helped in some way. Option A is incorrect because it assumes that the severity of the recession was directly comparable to the Great Depression. Option B is incorrect because it makes a contradictory statement by claiming that the policy reduced the severity of the recession even though it was worse than the Great Depression. Option D is incorrect because it assumes that the policy was ineffective based solely on the severity of the recession compared to the Great Depression.
