    Answer:. D. a shortage of oranges.

    Explanation:shortage refers to a situation in which the demands exceeds the available resources or products such that the state of equilibrium is compromised. When there are less fruits supplied to the market this means the demand for the oranges won't be met since there is not enough production of oranges and the supply has decreased. The supply can't meet the demand any longer.
