Correct answer is B
A regressive tax is a tax applied uniformly, taking a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. Regressive taxes place more burden on low-income earners. Since they are flat taxes, they take a higher percentage of income on the poor than on high-income earners.
The taxable rate reduces as income increases, and it increases as income decreases.
