Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

The answer is inelastic demand. When the demand for a commodity is inelastic, the buyers are less sensitive to changes in price. This means that they will continue to buy the same amount of the commodity even if the price increases. As a result, the burden of the tax will be borne by the buyers.
