Explanation

Disequilibrium occurs when the amount sellers supply is different from the amount buyers demand at a given price. When quantity supplied equals quantity demanded, the market is in equilibrium, so choice A describes equilibrium rather than disequilibrium. Therefore, the correct choice is “quantity supplied does not equal quantity demanded.”
