    The correct answer is D. Suffered shortages of basic goods.

    Explanation

    Leonid Brezhnev was a president of the Soviet Union who was characterized by being in power during a time of economic stagnation that was due to high expectations of surpassing his main rival nation, the United States. To overtake the United States, Leonid Brezhnev strove for an internal policy focused on expanding the industrial capacity of the Soviet Union by investing large amounts of resources to massively increase production plants. Additionally, during Leonid Brezhnev's government wages were high, while the prices of basic products were kept artificially low. This was triggered by an imbalance on the supply side, as supply decreased, while demand increased. As a result, the lack of products became frequent and the efforts of citizens to obtain the few available became commonly. So, the correct answer is D. Suffered shortages of basic goods.
