If Canada government wants to reduce the consumption of beer, then $2 tax on each bottle purchased may reduce the consumption of beer when beer is a normal good and the taxes collected from this tax are rebated to consumers, because in such case the price of beer will increase and the demand for beer will decrease, decreasing the total consumption of beer.
So, the correct answer is d. Beer is a normal good and the taxes collected from this tax are rebated to consumers.
