Answer 1

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Leap Forward led to the deaths of many from starvation. Also in an account given by Yang Jisheng, people were beaten or killed for rebelling against the government, reporting the real harvest numbers, for sounding alarm, for refusing to hand over what little food they had left, for trying to flee the famine area, for begging food or as little as stealing scraps or angering.
