Answer:

Option A: The quantity demanded will rise and the quantity supplied will fall, causing a shortage.

Price ceilings helps to hinder a price from rising above a known level. The assumption under it is that if a price ceiling is fixed (set) below the equilibrium price of the goods, this will definitely lead to quantity demanded exceeding quantity supplied.
