Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "shopping spree", we analyze each option:

• Option A: "A short period in which someone purchases a lot of things" matches the common definition of a shopping spree, where a person buys many items in a brief time.
• Option B: Describes a general market transaction, not a spree (which implies a more intense, personal buying burst).
• Option C: Focuses on a specific business type (selling bath products), not the concept of a shopping spree.
• Option D: Describes a rural business, unrelated to the meaning of a shopping spree.

Answer:
