Answer:

The correct answer is (A)

Explanation:

The price ceiling is a threshold price and consumers are not allowed to sell a product above that price. When the government impose price ceiling the profit of sellers usually decrease and sometimes the government provide subsidies to overcome those losses.  If the government impose a price ceiling on the sale of laptop computers the number of firms selling laptop decreases due to high competition and low profits.
