a. regressive$
b. graduated
c. progressive
d. proportional

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Progressive tax rate depends upon the income of the individual. In other words, progressive tax rate increases as income increases. So, higher income group have to pay more taxes as compared to lower income group.

Proportion of tax collected from high income group is more in case of progressive tax rates. In this case, Blade's tax rate is 10% that is 5,000/50,000 and Caden's tax rate is 12% that is 12,000/100,000.

So, tax rate is higher for Caden as compared to rate applicable on Blade's income.

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
