The fact that due to tax of Rs. 10 the price paid by buyers increases by Rs. 8 per pizza. So the demand curve for pizza shifts downwards by Rs. 8 at each quantity of pizza.

So option a is correct.

And it also means out of Rs 10 tax the buyer us paying Rs.8 tax, which is equal to,

8/10 × 100

= 80%

So Option C is also correct.

And now finally as mentioned in the question itself the incidence of tax is summarized by the fact that sellers send the tax payment to the government.

So all of the options are correct.

The correct answer is option D, all of the above are correct.
