Answer 1

it is C because a Famine is an extreme scarcity of food.

Answer 2

C. a famine

Step-by-step explanation:

• As the African countries don't generally have adequate rainfall they don't have proper crop yield and thus have more chances of famines and thus the long period of no rainfall is found to produce the rapid drying of the landmasses and hence as a result of this, the crops are going to die.

• Hense a draught type of condition is going to be created and this will definitely impact the food supply of the areas as the land production capacity gets declined.

• Also, the continent of Africa has faced certain crop failures in the past and the overpopulation and overgrazing in the lands caused a greater chance of erosion and thus leading to these food shortages.
