B.
Without roads, storage, refrigeration and transport, food can't get from farms to the people who need it (or spoils before it arrives). That distribution failure—and inability to move emergency supplies—raises famine risk. (A, C and D describe other problems but are not the primary mechanism for how poor infrastructure causes famine.)
