d. john collier

The correct answer is A. As a Federal Emergency Relief Administration leader, Harry Hopkins helped provide grants to struggling states.

Explanation:

In March of 1933, Roosevelt appointed Hopkins as federal administrator of public aid to the poor, moving to work in Washington. Hopkins defended the idea that obtaining a paid job served the poor more than the social aid delivered directly by third parties, from a psychological point of view, increasing the self-esteem of the beneficiaries rather than the simple help received free of charge. Once appointed by Roosevelt, Hopkins extended the scope of the New Deal's aid programs and introduces mechanisms where the aid received was based on the provision of work on behalf of the federal government. With this project, Hopkins helped to define the scope of the FERA, the Civil Works Administration (CWA) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA), aimed at people in poverty or need.
