The correct answer is B) It had a weak economic infrastructure due to a lack of large corporations.
At the time the Great Depression hit France, during the 1930's, compared to other European economies this country didn't present a strong economic and industrial infrastructure. The main industries were located in Paris, while the rest of the country remained agricultural. This, added to the fact that France stayed linked to the gold standard made French products very expensive for export and so France lost competitiveness and was in recession for a longer time than other European countries.
