-Refer to Figure 16.2.If the government imposes an excise tax of $1.00 on every unit sold, the producer's burden of the tax

• A)is greater under the more elastic supply curve S₀.
• B)is greater under the less elastic supply curve S₀.
• C)is greater under the less elastic supply curve S₁.
• D)is the same under either supply curve because there is a single demand curve that captures buyers' market behaviour.
