Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → (B), (A), (D), (C)

  • (B)A fall in price below a particular level is not desirable. This sets the context — the government wants to prevent prices from falling too low.

  • (A)The government sets floors or minimum prices for these goods and services. As a corrective measure, the government introduces a minimum price policy.

  • (D)The government imposed a lower limit on the price. This describes the implementation of the policy — a price floor is established below which prices cannot fall.

  • (C)The price charged for a particular good or service is called the price floor. Finally, this defines what such a government-fixed minimum price is — the price floor.
