Answer:

2) Major economies throughout Europe continued to suffer the result of damage and destruction to war

Step-by-step explanation:

World War I cost roughly $32 billion dollars, and resulted in the death of approximately 10 million soldiers, and 21 million wounded. This took a major toll on many nations involved, and countries struggled to rest the economy concurrent to the events of World War I.
