Answer:

Option “D” College X than college Y if the demand is greater at college X.  

Explanation:

Option D is correct because shortage depends on the degree of demand if the supply is the same and prices are below the equilibrium price. If the price paid is below the equilibrium price then it will generate a shortage because at this point demand is greater than supply. Therefore, if college X has greater demand then it will have a greater shortage.
