Answer 2

Answer:

a) An extreme situation endangering the basic means of livelihood

Explanation:

A subsistence crisis is a crisis brought on by economic causes, which in turn may be brought on by natural or artificial factors, and which endangers the availability of food and the chances of many people's survival.

Meuvret developed the idea of a sustenance crisis for the first time in France in 1946.

The following were the contributing factors to this type of crisis:

(i) From around 23 million people in 1715 to 28 million in 1789, France's population increased. As a result, demand for foodgrains rose quickly. The price of bread increased quickly as a result of the inability of grain production to keep up with demand.

(ii) When drought or haul decreased the harvest, things got worse. A crisis of survival resulted from this.
