Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The spread of communism was more related to political and ideological factors, not direct food shortages.
• Option B: Destruction of cities/towns is due to war or natural disasters, not food shortages.
• Option C: Forced migration to Eastern Europe is not a direct result of food shortages.
• Option D: When food is in short supply (demand > supply), prices typically rise rapidly, which is a direct economic result of food shortages.

Answer:

D. Rapid increase of food prices
