Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The carbon tax is based on the amount of carbon emissions produced by a vehicle. Although the hybrid-electric SUV and the natural gas-powered car have better gas mileage, they still emit carbon and therefore would still generate a carbon tax. The all-electric car would produce zero emissions and would not generate any carbon tax. However, the question asks for the vehicle that would generate the greatest amount of carbon tax, so the answer is the small gas-powered car, which has the lowest gas mileage of the options presented and therefore produces the most carbon emissions.
