13.A severe drought can actually lessen（减少，减轻） the total amount of government aid that United States farmers receive as a group. The government pays farmers the amount, if any, by which the market price at which crops are actually sold falls short of a preset target price per bushel for the crops. The drought of 1983, for example, caused farm-program payments to drop by $10 billion.
Given the information above, which of the following, if true, best explains why the drought of 1983 resulted in a reduction in farm-program payments?
(A) Prior to the drought of 1983, the government raised the target price for crops in order to aid farmers in reducing their debt loads.
(B) Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers exported less food in 1983 than in the preceding year.
(C) Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers had smaller harvests and thus received a higher market price for the 1983 crop than for the larger crop of the preceding year.
(D) Due to the drought of 1983, United States farmers planned to plant smaller crops in 1984 than they had in 1983.（C）
(E) Despite the drought of 1983, retail prices for food did not increase significantly between 1982 and 1983.
我选A。。。NN们帮帮忙~谢谢啦~

题目是问根据信息 哪个选项能解释1983年的干旱导致了收入下降
A prior。。。无关 就算有关也反了（大于了文章所涉及的范围的选项要仔细考虑）
B 因为干旱 所以出口少了 不怎么有关
C 因为干旱 所以欠收 所以价格升高了（。。根据文章 是政府的补贴价格 或是什么 但是补贴不一定够啊）
其实不用推 这是相关的选项
D 说下一年 不相关
E 还是上一年  不相关
