A. the market does not provide the ideal or optimal amount of a particular good.

Explanation:

A market failure is the situation when demand does not equal supply. Various problems are caused by a market failure. In other words, goods and services are not optimally distributed in the free market. The demand of the people wanting a particular good is not satisfied, so a discrepancy between demand and supply begins to take action.
