    B tax revenue is maximized, beyond which Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C higher tax rates may lead to diminishing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D returns due disincentives for economic activity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In ‘Returns due’ a preposition is missing. The correct way should be ‘returns due to’. ‘Due to’ expresses a cause or a reason. In the emboldened part ‘ingoing’ should be replaced with ‘ongoing’ that means ‘current’ or ‘present’.
