Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

A progressive tax is a tax system in which the tax rate increases as the amount of taxable income increases. This means that people with higher incomes pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than people with lower incomes.

The curve labeled W shows that the tax rate increases as the amount of taxable income increases. This is the defining characteristic of a progressive tax system.
