Answer

(d) The repeal of a tax levied on producers

Work Step by Step

When a producer tax is repealed this lowers production cost and, in response, quantity supplied increases. Additionally, the burden of tax is shared between producer and consumer which means that the decrease in price associated with lower producer taxes is also conferred to the customer, this lower price, in turn, increases the quantity demanded.
