Ans.- (E)
Marginal tax rate is the rate of tax charged on each additional dollar of earned income.
If government increases marginal tax rate , then substitution effect makes leisure cheaper (because wage is low) so you choose more leisure. The income effect makes you buy less leisure ( The increase in marginal tax rates decreases your real income and therefore you demand less leisure). That is, you work less. So, both effects work in opposite direction.
