Correct Answer: Carbon tax


Solution : The correct option is the Carbon tax.

The carbon tax is a classic example of a Pigouvian tax. It is designed to internalise the external costs associated with carbon emissions and address the negative externality of climate change. By taxing carbon emissions, the government aims to make businesses and individuals take into account the environmental and societal costs of their carbon-intensive activities.
