    The demand for Good X has a price elasticity of −1. If the government decided to
    impose a sales tax of £3 per unit on Good X this would:
    A shift the supply curve for Good X up by less than £3 and increase the price by
    less than £3.
    B shift the supply curve for Good X up by less than £3 and increase the price by
    more than £3.
    C shift the supply curve for Good X up by £3 and increase the price by £3.
    D shift the supply curve for Good X up by £3 and increase the price by less than
    £3.

    May I know why the answer is D for this question? Tq.
