With an increase in a country’s development also increases the citizens’ tendency to spend on luxuries. One such trend in Country X is that the citizens have been increasingly preferring leather clothing and apparel to the conventional ones. However, one problem linked to this trend is the significant number of animals killed to produce the required amount of leather to meet the increasing demand. Therefore, a local social organization has proposed that a significant amount of tax be levied annually on citizens who own leather goods produced domestically. However, several concerns were raised that buyers can circumvent this hindrance by importing exotic leather goods at a much lower price.
Which of the following additions to the association’s proposal would be most likely to help in overcoming the concerns raised against it?
A. Imposing restrictions on the quality of leather goods that can be owned per citizen.
B. Setting long term goals to reduce the killing of exotic animals at least by 50% by the end of the year.
C. Researching on developing materials that look like leather but do not involve killing of animals for their production.
D. Extending the scope of the proposed tax to all leather goods owned by citizens.
E. Using the tax revenue to develop awareness programs along the lines of the ones developed by PETA.
