All except "People will stop wanting them."
If an economy can't produce certain goods/services, people may:
- Go without them (unmet demand).
- Look elsewhere — import them, trade with other economies, or obtain them through informal/black markets.
- Shift priorities and focus on needs rather than wants (substitute or ration scarce resources).
Preferences typically don’t vanish just because supply is limited.
