The direct impact of the Great Famine was primarily reflected in the responses regarding the effects on Ireland. The most relevant option is:
A) no potatoes were left
The Great Famine, which occurred in Ireland from 1845 to 1852, was primarily caused by a potato disease (late blight) that devastated the potato crop, which was a staple food for much of the population. As a result, the lack of potatoes had catastrophic effects on the Irish population.
While other options may reference aspects related to the broader consequences of the famine, such as emigration patterns affecting American population growth or political changes in Ireland, they are not direct impacts of the famine itself.
