12. Taxes can have all of the following economic effects EXCEPT
A) altering resource allocation
B) changing consumer behavior
C) affecting a nation's productivity
D) removing sources of revenue

Option D

Explanation:

When the government tries to reduce the production or consumption of certain goods taxes can help the government to perform this action. Taxes alter the resource allocation by giving disincentives for production, consumption or exchange of these goods. Consumer decisions on savings and retirements can be controlled through taxes. Through affecting their decisions, their behavior to take actions based on the decision can also be changed.

By keeping a check on the incentives of the people through taxes the demand and supply can be decreased. This further decreases the productivity of the country.
