It's Wrong!
Correct Answer
A. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Explanation
Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to move the Thanksgiving holiday to the fourth Thursday in November to create a longer Christmas shopping season. This is because during the Great Depression, Roosevelt hoped that extending the holiday season would boost the economy by giving people more time to shop for Christmas. By moving Thanksgiving to a later date, it would allow for a longer period of shopping before Christmas, potentially stimulating consumer spending and helping businesses.
