The correct answer is: "There is a situation or shortage or of excess demand".

Rationing is an allocation system that is adopted in an economy when the amount produced cannot serve the whole demand and there is no price adjustment. This was the case during WWII. A possible rationing strategy could be "first come, first serve", for example or dividing the total output between the population and allocating a fixed ration for each person.

Because they were expensive to produce.

Further Explanation:

Rationing during the period of world war 2 was the mean of ensuring that there was a fair distribution of food and commodities equally among people. During that period, Rationing started with Petrol and after some time commodities such as butter, Sugar and Bacon were also rationed. The reason behind rationing was because such commodities were expensive to produce. Redeemable stamps were issued by the Government during world war 2 and these stamps were issued to every family based on its size and income of the family. The reason behind this rationing system was the idea of the British Government in which it took the future into consideration that people may starve for food during a time of war and local production of food was limited due to a large number of men fighting in the war.

Not only Britain, Almost every country which was part of world war 2, Did food rationing. The Soviet Union did food rationing between 1941 to 1947. Bread distribution before 1941 was around 800 grams per person but by 1941, bread rations were reduced to 250 grams and then further reduced to 125 grams and that caused in a lot of deaths due to starvation.

How did trenches prolong WWI?

sertanlavr [38]

Well the use of trenches prolonged WWI because it was another kind of land warfare where most of the ground in which they were fighting consisted mostly trenches. These trenches protected them from most artillery and normal gun fire. So it was almost like a stalemate.
