C. ignores the power of markets to recognize shortages and induce changes in behavior

Explanation:

The market will innovate and find new efficient goods and services. Also, it will change his behavior once the shortage generates sufficient increase in price and quantity that modifies the agent conduct towards certains goods.

This means, the market will keep growing and the statement of stop grow will not occur.
