Final answer:

The correct answer is Yukon (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

The province/territory that funds its healthcare coverage only through an employer tax or levy is Yukon (B).

In Canada, healthcare is publicly funded through a mix of taxes and social insurance premiums.

However, only Yukon relies solely on an employer tax or levy to fund its healthcare coverage.

For example, in Yukon, employers are required to pay a tax that funds the healthcare system, and this tax is based on the employee's wages or salaries.
