The correct answer is C. keep products affordable for consumers.

Price ceilings are created to help people acquire bare necessities such as water, or wheat and flour, or anything similar. A price ceiling is imposed and you pay that amount maximum, and if prices should rise because of production costs then the country pays for the extra charge out of its budget.
