Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is a. The collapse of the Soviet Union was primarily due to overinvestment in new technology. This led to a stagnation of the economy, as resources were misallocated and not used efficiently. Additionally, central planning and lack of market mechanisms played a role in the inefficient allocation of resources and the overall decline of the Soviet Union. The falling price of oil (option b) did contribute to the economic hardships faced by the Soviet Union, as it was a significant revenue source for the country. However, it was not the primary cause of the collapse. Vladimir Putin becoming president (option c) occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union and cannot be seen as a direct cause of the collapse. Overproduction of agricultural products (option d) was not a significant factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
