Answer
A
a surplus of many goods
B
decreased farm production
C
rapid economic growth
D
long lines in stores

Explanation

Perestroika was Mikhail Gorbachev’s effort to restructure the Soviet economy. The reforms disrupted production and distribution without quickly creating a reliable supply of consumer goods, so shortages and long lines in stores became common. The result was long lines in stores, not a surplus or rapid economic growth.
