The demand for manufactured goods to replace those that were worn or outdated can be attributed to the economic prosperity preceding the Great Crash of 1929. The country had undergone a period of industrial growth, and consumers were purchasing new products to replace their old ones.

Option C is also partially true - the high production years preceding World War I did help the U.S. economy grow, but again, it alone does not fully explain the economic prosperity that preceded the Great Crash of 1929. Option D is false; there were no government policies that stimulated growth through taxation and investment prior to the Great Crash. Option E is also false; while wages and prices were increasing, this alone does not explain the economic prosperity.
