B解析scarcity=the state of being scarce 缺乏；不足（指原本充足之物暂时在数量上的缺乏）。例如：The scarcity of fruit was caused by the drought.(水果的供应不足是干旱所引起的。)rarity=sth. unmon, unusual or sth. valued because rare 珍稀，稀少：Snow is a rarity around the equator.(雪在赤道周围是罕见之物。)invalidity=making weak by illness; not suitable for use无效性，丧失工作能力。Variety=difference of condition or quality 变化，多样化。
本题译文：目前席卷这一地区的暴风雨今后肯定会引起蔬菜短缺。
