Was the answer right?

a is right

Yes, the correct answer is option A: Russian exports decreased when Russia lost republics that produced many goods.

To arrive at the correct answer, it is important to carefully analyze the options and consider the cause and effect relationship mentioned in the statement.

In the statement, it is stated that the Russian economy suffered when the Soviet Union collapsed. This indicates that the collapse of the Soviet Union had a negative impact on the Russian economy.

Option A states that Russian exports decreased when Russia lost republics that produced many goods. This is a plausible explanation because when the Soviet Union collapsed, it lost several republics that were major producers of goods. Therefore, the loss of these republics as part of the Soviet Union likely had a significant impact on Russian exports and consequently on the overall economy.

Options B, C, and D do not align with the information provided in the statement. Option B suggests that Russian exports decreased because Russia took control of more acres of fertile land, which does not relate to the loss of republics. Option C suggests that Russian exports increased when Russia became free to trade with countries that had market economies, but the statement does not mention an increase in exports. Option D presents the opposite scenario, suggesting that Russian exports increased because other republics depended heavily on Russia, which does not align with the concept that Russian exports decreased.

Therefore, option A is the most accurate cause of Russia's economic problems in the early 1990s, based on the information provided in the statement.
