b. progressive tax

Explanation:

In general, the federal income taxes tend to be progressive. The federal authorities have the rate to tax the people that live in the federal state. Mostly, this tax is based around the income. The lower the income, the lower the tax, and the higher the income, the higher the tax, thus making a nice example of progressive taxation. We can say that it is a fair taxation method, especially for the people that have low incomes, as they pay less, so it is less of a burden on their very limited budget. These taxes vary from state to state, and they are in the range between 10 and 39.6% of taxable income.
