    Answer: A. The supply is more elastic than the demand

    Explanation: When the supply of a product is more elastic than the demand the buyer of a good will bear the larger tax burden, when the demand for a good is more elastic than the supply the producer will bear the larger burden of the tax. When the tax placed on buyers of a product increases, the buyers will have to pay more for the good, this will lead to a reduced effective income for the sellers and generally Demand will become less elastic while the supply will now become more elastic as consumer preference will tend to reduce.
