D) The amount of consumer goods reduced

Jaslyn Nichols · Answer 2

C) The amount of military goods increased.

Explanation:

In World War II, the opportunity cost of deciding to increase the production of military goods resulted in the limitation of all the country's wealth to the production of such goods. As a result, the amount of military goods increased, but the cost of sacrificing goods for the consumer goods of the population. During this period, for the production of weapons and military products, all production of consumer goods was sacrificed, thereby reducing the production of food, medicine and clothing.
