B. regressive tax.

Explanation: A regressive tax is a tax that takes a larger percentage of income from low-income individuals than from high-income individuals. Sales taxes, like the one you pay at the grocery store, are considered regressive because low-income individuals spend a larger portion of their income on basic necessities, such as food and clothing, which are subject to sales tax. As a result, they pay a larger percentage of their income in sales tax compared to high-income individuals.

Sales tax is often considered a regressive tax because it takes a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. Since everyone pays the same rate on purchases, those with lower incomes spend a higher proportion of their income on sales tax relative to those with higher incomes. Therefore, the impact of the tax is greater on those with less disposable income, making it regressive.

Sales taxes are considered regressive because they take a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. This is due to the fact that sales taxes are a flat percentage and do not increase with the income level of the consumer. Therefore, lower-income individuals end up spending a higher proportion of their income on sales taxes compared to higher-income individuals.
