Answer:

A) automatic car washes

Explanation:

Passing taxes to consumers will be easier for those goods that are essential to everyday life, such as medicine, food, and even gasoline. However, in the case of goods that consumers are not fully dependent on, such as car washes, increased taxation may decrease demand as this type of good or service can be replaced. Consumers themselves may decide to wash their cars if the price of washing is increased.
