When personal income tax rises, real disposable income of the consumer falls. This leads to a fall in his demand for goods and services.
This shifts the demand curve to the left. Keeping supply unchanged, this leads to a fall in the price level along with the quantity of goods and services produced, which in turn reduces GDP.
Thus, the correct option is: (b) price level falls and real GDP falls
