The correct answer is B)

A shortage of consumer goods arise during wartime because raw materials used for consumer goods are needed for war materials. So there is a big investment in raw materials for war, and there is no money left for consumer goods, Many of the goods produced generally for the public are shifted to for example, munitions for the troops.
