5 Year Plans

C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The drive to collectivize understandably had little support from experienced farmers. The intent was to withhold grain from the market and increase the total crop and food supply via state collective farms. The anticipated surplus would then pay for industrialization.

Detailed explanation-2: -By collectivizing the farm system Stalin believed the country would be able to supply grain to everybody within the USSR.

Detailed explanation-3: -This caused a major famine in the countryside (1932–33) and the deaths of millions of peasants. Despite these great costs, the forced collectivization achieved the final establishment of Soviet power in the countryside.

Detailed explanation-4: -The forced collectivization and class war against (vaguely defined) “kulaks” under Stalinism greatly disrupted farm output in the 1920s and 1930s, contributing to the Soviet famine of 1932–33 (most especially the Holodomor in Ukraine).

Detailed explanation-5: -Due to acute shortages of grain supplies and outdated modes of production Stalin introduced the collectivization programme. Under this program, peasants were forced to cultivate on collective farms called as Kolkhoz. Those who resisted collectivization programme were severely punished and many were deported and exiled.
