Option ‘b’ is correct.
Option (b):
Personal income tax and payroll taxes for social insurance are the two important sources of tax revenue for the U.S. federal government. Thus, option b is correct.
Option (a):
The U.S. federal government also levies corporate tax but its contribution is much smaller than that of personal income tax and payroll tax. Thus, option ‘a’ is incorrect.
Option (c):
The U.S. federal government also levies corporate tax but its contribution is much smaller than personal income tax and payroll tax. Thus, option ‘c’ is incorrect.
Option (d):
Payroll tax has the significant contribution in the U.S federal government tax revenue, while property tax is one of the important sources of tax revenue for the state and local governments and not for the U.S federal government. Hence, option ‘d’ is incorrect.
