Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The massive economical drain of the Imjin War against the Japanese in Korea was one among the many issues Ming China faced during the Wanli Emperor's tenure, also fiscal or other.

Throughout the last times of the Wanli period and those of his two predecessors there emerged an economic recession based on a surprising pervasive shortage of the chief trade medium of the empire i. e "silver".

Due to the extremely dry and cold weather which reduced the harvest season, famines became widespread in northern China in the early 17th century, consequences of a larger ecological event now known as the Little Ice Age.

Famines lead hunger, amid tax increases, extensive military desertions, a weakening relief program, and natural catastrophes such as floods and the government's failure to adequately handle irrigation and flood control programs resulted in significant loss of life and normal civility.
