Correct Answer

Explanation

The famine in Ethiopia between 1983 and 1985, which resulted in the deaths of up to 1.2 million people, was primarily attributed to the forced relocation of farmworkers and the seizure of grain by the communist Derg government.
These actions, coupled with the civil war in the country, exacerbated the humanitarian crisis.
