The correct answer is **c. Lagging behind the Western World**.
The Soviet Union's economy faced significant challenges, including inefficiencies in central planning, a lack of competition and innovation, and an inability to adapt to market demands. These issues contributed to economic stagnation and ultimately led to the decline of the Soviet economy. While factors such as military spending and the arms race with the West put additional pressure on the Soviet economy, the overall lagging behind in technological and economic development compared to Western nations was a significant factor in its decline.
