  • The correct option is D. Natural.

It is stated that state and local government increases the amount of tax on Cigarettes to discourage its consumption. Also, it is natural that this tax widens the gap between quantity demanded before and after-tax in the economy. Hence, it can be classified as a natural experiment.
