    Dairy Division Income Division B Income Transfer Price.

    Option "D" is the correct answer - High Low High.

    Explanation:

    Since in Division B, the tax rate is higher than the tax rate in US-based dairy division. Therefore to minimize the impact of the overall tax, transfer price from dairy division should be high to Division B so that the dairy division income would be higher. and the income of Division B would be lower.

    Hence option "D" is the correct answer.
