The Soviet economy during the 1980s faced several challenges, but among the options provided:
D. Trade embargoes
Trade embargoes were not a significant challenge faced by the Soviet economy during the 1980s. The primary challenges included food shortages, decreased productivity and inflation, among others. The Soviet Union did experience economic stagnation, inefficiencies in production, shortages of consumer goods and economic mismanagement, contributing to the overall decline of the economy. However, trade embargoes specifically targeting the Soviet Union were not a prevalent issue during that time.
