    The answer is (C) A state places a tax on furniture made overseas ...

    Explanation:

    Taxing imported furniture isn't one of the union states' prerrogatives.

    Imposing tariffs on foreign goods is an exclusive right of the federal Congress.

    This is what Section 8 of the US Constituion says:

    Section 8

    1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States.

    So, taxes on imported furniture must be laid by the US Congress.
