    The correct answer is option (B) perfectly inelastic

    Explanation:

    It is a known facts that anytime tax is imposed on any goods at any given time, the tax falls totally on the consumers provided the elasticity of demand is zero.

    Since increase in tax doesn't affect the demand for goods and services, and no matter the increment in price from the supplier, the demand remains the same. Therefore, the demand curve for goods Y is said to be perfectly inelastic.
