Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: In the 1940s, tractors (new tech) helped farmers boost productivity by mechanizing tasks, which is accurate.
• Option B: Demand for fresh foods isn't directly tied to new farm technology; it's more about consumer trends or other factors, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: New technology (like tractors) should increase, not decrease, productivity, so C is wrong.
• Option D: Farmers were impacted by new tech (e.g., tractors), so D is incorrect.
