(A) 1973
(B) 1983
(C) 1993
(D) 1999

🧠 Explanation:

The largest famine in Ethiopia occurred in 1984, affecting millions of people due to a combination of drought, political instability, and civil conflict. The word “famine” is a common noun referring to an extreme scarcity of food, while “1984” is a proper noun indicating the specific year. This famine caused widespread malnutrition, death, and displacement, drawing international attention and relief efforts. Alternatives in historical context could include other years with food crises, but 1984 is the most significant in Ethiopia’s modern history. For PPSC-level exams, remembering this year is important for questions on world history, humanitarian crises, and geography.
