    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    The goods with a perfectly inelastic demand with any changes in the prices of the commodities are generally have no effect on the demand for a good. This means that if there is an imposition of tax on the good with a perfectly inelastic demand then this will lead to increase the price level by the full amount and therefore, the incidence of this tax is fully borne by the consumers.
