A price ceiling is a legal maximum on the price at which a good can be sold. often imposed when sellers of a good are successful in their attempts to convince the government that the market outcome is unfair without a price ceiling. All of the above are correct.

A price floor means that: inflation is severe in this particular market. sellers are artificially restricting supply to raise price. government is imposing a maximum legal price that is typically below the equilibrium price. government is imposing a minimum legal price that is typically above the equilibrium price.
