a. the smaller is the response of quantity supplied to the tax.

c. the larger is the deadweight loss of the tax.
d. All of the above are correct

Answer:

c. the larger is the deadweight loss of the tax.

Explanation:

Supply is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on quantity supplied.

If a tax is imposed, and supply in elastic, the quantity supplied would fall.

Deadweight loss is when quantity supplied reduces as a result of tax.

If supply is elastic, the larger is the deadweight loss of the tax.
