Answer: d) all the above

Explanation:

Famine is a widespread food shortage, [1] [2] caused by a number of factors including war, natural disasters, crop failures, human inequality, widespread poverty, economic disaster, or government policies. This condition is often accompanied by or followed by regional malnutrition, famine, epidemics, and increased mortality. Each of the world's most populous continents has experienced the worst famine in human history. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as Eastern and Central Europe, suffered the greatest number of deaths from starvation. Starvation rates began to plummet since the 2000's.

On November 8, 2021, the World Food Program warned that 45 million people were on the brink of starvation in 43 countries. Afghanistan has become the world's worst disaster, and the needs of the country far exceed those of the worst-affected countries - Ethiopia, South Sudan, Syria and Yemen. [3]
