Answer:
C. It is worth the loss of property to ensure that Germany finds nothing useful to it.
Explanation:
The given passage is taken from the "scorched earth" policy established by Joseph Stalin after the German troops invaded the USSR in 1941. The radio broadcast gave an order to the people on how to act when evading or leaving their homes.
In this broadcast, Stalin orders the destruction of <em>"All valuable property including non-ferrous metals, grain, and fuel which cannot be withdrawn"</em> so that it will not fall on the hands of the Germans. He also advised the farmers to<em> "drive off their cattle and turn over their grain to the safekeeping of the State authorities"</em>, so that if and when the Germans reach that place, they will not be used by them. The order seems to state that losing a property is better than providing any useful thing for the Germans.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
