The correct options are A AND D.
Great Britain was the most prosperous country in the world before the World War l. But after the war the country experience a period of stagnation because of the huge amount of money which was spent on the war. Britain's purse was as good as depleted when the war was over. Beside, during the course of the war, a lot of factories and industries which produced various goods were destroyed. This drastically reduced the volume of goods that were produced after the war.
