a country that has plenty of money to invest in infrastructure
B
a country that has plenty of money to buy factory goods
C

a country whose people use currency to buy food

Explanation

A cash crop is a crop grown mainly to sell for money rather than for local use. A country with a cash crop economy depends heavily on selling one or a few crops, so its prosperity can rise or fall with the crops’ success and market prices. Therefore, the best description is a country whose economy depends on the success of just one crop.
