B. Its command economy could not produce enough necessary goods for its citizens.

Explanation:

The Soviet collapse was due to the decline of communist ideology and economic failure. During the 1980's Ronald Reagan had isolated the soviet economy from the world, by dropping their oil and gas prices, once this happened they began to lose their power in Eastern Europe. Their economy fell to the floor, affecting the whole country.
