Answer 1

high demand and a shortage of produced goods

Answer 2

In my opinion, the correct answer among the choices given is option D. Consumer prices tend to rise after a war because of a high demand and a shortage of produced goods. Shortage of goods would really happen because resources are destroyed due to the war. Together with the decrease in the supply, demand will rise up.
