The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Price floor, also referred to as the minimum price, which is described as the lower limit placed by the regulatory authority or the government on the price which is per unit of the product or the commodity.

Non - binding price floor, means that the price floor is less than the present price of the market, and the equilibrium price will be more or above the price floor.

So, when the price floor is not binding, then the market will be shortage or less than from the present price.
