    The correct answer is option d.

    Explanation:

    When a tax is levied on the sellers of a good, it creates a tax wedge. The price received by the sellers decreases. The tax rate is increases the cost of production.

    This causes the supply to decrease. The supply curve shifts leftward or upward by the amount of tax.

    This upward shift in the supply curve causes the price level to increase and output level to decrease.
