Answer:

In this situation the price of the sugar beets will increase as there is no adequate production due to the flood.

Thus the correct answer is Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The inadequate production will result in the decrease in supply. The lack of supply means high demand and there is a negative relation between supply and demand. These two aspects hit each other negatively.

High price means less demand and low price means more demand. Consumers demand for those products or goods which has low price and vice a versa.
