Explanation / Answer

C) a housing bubble

Reason

A housing bubble is a run-up in housing prices fueled by demand, speculation, and exuberance. Housing bubbles usually start with an increase in demand, in the face of limited supply, which takes a relatively long period of time to replenish and increase. This kind of vague speculation leads to this kind of unstable bubble.
