The correct answer is D. Southern European countries were more heavily affected than Northern Europe. As a matter of fact, either all parts of Europe were equally affected, or the North was more heavily affected than the South. A, B, and C are definitely correct - the Great Famine of 1315 brought about high prices of food, starvation and death of many, and almost no food on farms for a decade.
