Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no other answer but B. That was Nixon's doing. He took the American dollar off the Gold system. Gold in 1980 eventually went from 35 dollars to 800 which is a stupendous move. Many people, unfortunately for them, bought at the top and it took 31 years (I think) for them to recover their money.
