Option B. It is a potential problem for the Cuba's economy because a sudden drop in sugar prices or in production caused by a natural disaster could cripple Cuba's economy.

Explanation:

Cuba is highly dependent on its export of sugar for generating revenue internationally. If in case there is abundant production of sugar in countries like Brazil, Thailand, India, etc., there are chances that the international prices of sugar may fall drastically.

Sugar being the only main export item of Cuba, a sudden fall in the prices of it in the international market would make Cuba suffer the most as its farmers may not even be able to recover the cost of production in that case.
