Its the last option. More deaths mean fewer workers.

Its the Civil War, so disease has nothing to do with it; neither does battles or national elections.

D. More deaths means fewer workers.

Explanation:

By process of elimnation:

A. is incorrect because diesease is unrelated. War casualties do not equal diesease in population.

B. is incorrect because more deaths does not necessarily mean more battles. Infact, usually the opposite, because a side could be forced to surrender if it doesn't have enough troops.

C. is incorrect because elections would carry on just the same whether or not war casualties were high.

The three steps before modern english were indo-european, germanic, and old english. as peoples moved around the eurasian continent, their languages changed. throughout the ages, the languages became more specialized. as english has many germanic influences, it is easy to see how this was one of the forebears. also, old english was one of the main ancestors of the modern language, spoken in the 5th through about the 13th centuries.
