D
Dorothy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since Dorothy is the main character, we can see that the American population was the main focus. The Scarecrow represents the farmers in America. In the story, the Scarecrow is in need of a brain, which shows that he might not be the brightest one on the journey.

Detailed explanation-2: -As for the Scarecrow, having no brains, he walked straight ahead, and so stepped into the holes and fell at full length on the hard bricks. It never hurt him, however, and Dorothy would pick him up and set him upon his feet again, while he joined her in laughing merrily at his own mishap.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Scarecrow is a character in the fictional Land of Oz created by American author L. Frank Baum and illustrator W.W. Denslow. In his first appearance, the Scarecrow reveals that he lacks a brain and desires above all else to have one. In reality, he is only two days old and merely naïve.

Detailed explanation-4: -In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Scarecrow is never named. He is simply referred to as ‘the Scarecrow’. Later, in the 1939 film adaptation of the book, the Scarecrow was connected to Hunk. The film implies that Dorothy’s adventures were all a dream, and that everyone she met was based on a real person in her life.
