Constant shortages of a good problem

Constant shortages of a good are nearly always attributable to: (1) legal ceiling prices which are set beneath equilibrium. (2) Recessions which yield maximum unemployment rates. (3) Price gouging by firms through monopoly power. (4) Legal price floors above the equilibrium.

Can someone help me in getting through this problem.
