Solution

The correct answer is:

d. Below the original equilibrium price

When a tax is imposed on a product, it increases the cost of producing that product. As a result, producers will receive a price that is lower than the original equilibrium price. This is because the tax effectively creates a wedge between the price that consumers pay and the price that producers receive. The price that producers receive will be the price that consumers pay minus the tax. Therefore, after a tax, the price producers receive for the product is below the original equilibrium price.
