    C. only a loss of producer surplus for landlords

    Explanation:

    When there is a rent ceiling it refers to the situation that the government of the state puts a limit on the amount that can be charged as a rent from the people taking property on rent for the landlord.

    As with this, there arises the shortage, as the landlords are not comfortable lending the property to tenants at such rate.

    There is a loss for landlords only. As they are not ready to lend at such rate and that the property remains vacant. And there is no income, rather if rented it would earn low income.
