SSC CGL 2019 (Tier 2) GS Finance & Economics Previous Year Paper (17-Nov-2020)
The correct answer is

ceiling; demand

Imposing a price ceiling below the equilibrium price leads to excess demand because the price is set below the market clearing price. Consumers want to buy more at the lower price, but suppliers are unwilling to supply as much, resulting in a shortage of goods. Hence, option 2 is correct.
