Answer:

B. There will be a shortage of milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the set price ceiling by the government, suppliers will be discouraged from producing milk since the price ceiling is far below the equilibrium price. As a result, there will be decreased supply of milk since it will not be as profitable to produce. This will lead to a shortage of milk. Option B is the correct answer based on the above.
