Answer: C. the quantity supplied at that price.

Step-by-step explanation:

A shortage for a good occurs when the current market price is less than the equilibrium price. So, whenever there is a shortage at a particular price the quantity sold at that price will be less than the quantity demanded. The amount of shortage is equal to quantity demanded minus quantity supplies. And the quantity sold is equal to the quantity supplied at that price.
