Answer: the correct answer is B. The taxes are collected by the government based on a person's income.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 16th amendment is an amendment that allows the United States government to collect an income tax from all Americans. Other taxes like property taxes are considered "direct taxes" and states are entitled to collect them.
