Why would a shortage of consumer goods arise during wartime? a) prices on consumer goods fall, making them more affordable. b) raw materials used for consumer goods are needed for war materials. c) workers who make consumers goods leave their jobs the military. d) manufacturers increase profits by making fewer consumers goods.

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.

the answer is a. the declaration of independence.
