D. Hungry and malnourished laborers worked on communes and collective farms

Explanation:

The Great Leap Forward was an attemp by Mao Ze Dong to industrialize China in just 5 years, in this common effort, he had the main idea to go from a mainly agricultural society to a largely industrialized one, he was the leader of the most populated and organized country in the world and had the political strength to do so, by sending farmer workers into communes where they'd share food and work, he de-stabilized the farming sector that was left with little to no workers and with soviet strategies on farming damaged hundreds of acres of good land. Food started to be un available and the industralization never came to exist in those terms.
