(单选题)

There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may ______.

A.cause a shortage of apartments

B.worry those who rent apartments as homes

C.increase the profits of landlords

D.encourage landlords to invest in building apartment

参考答案：A

参考解析：

细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句话“…, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.”可知，房东收取租户的租金有了最高限额，他们的利润会受到影响，也可能导致他们投资其他行业，鉴于此，C、D两项都是错误的。B项“使租房为家的人担忧”文中没有涉及，也不对。所以C项、B项、D项错误。故选A。
