Explanation:

The question asks about the problem caused by the Continental Congress printing large amounts of currency during the Revolutionary War. Printing excessive currency devalues it, leading to inflation. Increased foreign investment, strengthening the dollar, and reducing government debt are not effects of overprinting; overprinting weakens currency and can worsen debt.

Answer:

b. It caused rampant inflation.
