Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
A price ceiling is a government-imposed maximum price fixed below the equilibrium price. It creates excess demand (shortage), and consumers willing to pay more than the ceiling price give rise to a black market where the good is sold illegally at higher prices. A price floor is a minimum price and does not cause black markets.
