The correct answer is: D) Goods and Services Tax (GST)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Goods and Services Tax (GST) is a tax imposed on the manufacture, sale, and consumption of goods and services. It is a value-added tax (VAT), which means that it is levied on the value added to goods and services at each stage of the production and distribution process.<\/p>\n

GST is a broad-based tax, which means that it applies to a wide range of goods and services. It is also a destination-based tax, which means that the tax is levied on the final consumption of goods and services, regardless of where they are produced.<\/p>\n

GST is a relatively new tax in India. It was introduced in July 2017, and it replaced a number of other indirect taxes, such as excise duty, service tax, and value-added tax (VAT).<\/p>\n

GST is a complex tax, and there are a number of different rules and regulations that govern its application. However, it is a key part of the Indian government’s efforts to simplify the tax system and promote economic growth.<\/p>\n
