Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The economic policies of state ownership of large industries and requisitions of food and raw materials that the Bolsheviks implemented in 1918 were known as War Communism. This policy was necessitated by the economic hardships faced by the country during the Russian Civil War, and was characterized by strict government control over the economy, including nationalization of industry, strict rationing, and the requisitioning of grain from peasants. It was later replaced by the New Economic Policy in 1921.
