Answer 1

The letter choice that you would select is A.) corn

Answer 2

The correct answer is A) corn.

A global food crisis occurred in 2008 partly as a result of a rice shortage. A shortage in corn was causing concern as of 2012.

The United States corn for Ethanol nearly provoked food crisis in 2012. The United States program that used Ethanol for combustion purposes, elevated the price of corn in October 2012. This kind of consumption and the drouth in the United States, accelerated the corn prices and many underdeveloped countries were on the brink of a food crisis. These countries depended on corn import to feed their people that consume a lot of corn as part of their daily diet.
