Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Scarcity is one of the key concepts of economics. It means that the demand for a good or service is greater than the availability of the good or service. Therefore, scarcity can limit the choices available to the consumers who ultimately make up the economy.

Detailed explanation-2: -noun, plural scar·ci·ties. insufficiency or shortness of supply; dearth. rarity; infrequency.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scarcity falls into three distinctive categories: demand-induced, supply-induced, and structural.

Detailed explanation-4: -Societies can deal with scarcity by increasing supply. The more goods and services available to all, the less scarcity there will be. Of course, increasing supply comes with limitations, such as production capacity, land available for use, time, and so on. Another way to deal with scarcity is by reducing demand.

Detailed explanation-5: -Demand scarcity: When there is a high demand for a resource or product, due to increasing populations or changes in preferences. Supply scarcity: When the supply or resource is low or out, due to weather, disasters or resource depletion.
