Explanation:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a consumer protection agency. Its role includes preventing deceptive business activities (like false advertising, fraud) to safeguard consumers. A mismatch in supply - demand is an economic concept not related to the FTC's consumer protection role, and the FTC doesn't prevent price increases directly. So the correct phrase is "deceptive business activities".

deceptive business activities
