Which of the following describes the difference between "scarcity" and "shortage"?

◦ In the economic sense, almost everything is scarce. A shortage of a good or service occurs when the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied at the current market price.
◦ There is a shortage of almost everything. Scarcity occurs only if the quantity demanded of a good or service is greater than the quantity supplied at the current market price.
◦ In the economic sense, almost everything is scarce. A shortage of a good or service occurs when the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied at the equilibrium price.
