B Correct answer
Explanation

Monopoly was created during the 1930s, specifically patented by Charles Darrow in 1935 during the Great Depression. The game evolved from Elizabeth Magie's earlier "Landlord's Game" (1904). The 1930s version became a cultural phenomenon and saved Parker Brothers from bankruptcy. The other decades are incorrect for the commercial Monopoly patent.
