A Correct answer
Explanation

Sentence A is correct because it uses present simple 'If there is shortage... its price goes up' to state a general economic truth/fact. Sentence B is less appropriate because it uses future 'will go up' for what is clearly a general, recurring economic principle rather than a specific prediction about one instance.
