Answer

Option B

but depend on the elasticity of supply

The demand is perfectly elastic so the buyer will not demand the good if the price increases, so the buyer will pay the old price and producers, will pay full tax but if the supply also perfectly elastic then the producer will not accept less than the given price and buyer will not pay above that so there will be no trade.
