Think about the sentence structure here. The boom in overproduction "emptied" ....
So we are talking about what the consequences of the boom in overproduction were. So any answer choice beginning with "many were led to think" is wrong. So we can rule out A, B and C.
Answer choice D is just fraught with complications. So I'd go with E as well.

A, B, and C are wordy/passive. D is awkward.
E is the answer.
E is the answer.
