Answer:
D) Both A. and B. are true.
- A) The schedule provides no information as to whether Jurisdiction M's tax is horizontally equitable.
- B) Jurisdiction M's tax is vertically equitable.
Explanation:
When we are talking about horizontal equity of a tax, we are talking about how the tax base is measured and the ability that taxpayers have to pay the tax. There is nothing here about tax base or taxpayers' ability to pay. 
On the other hand, vertical equity deals with the tax rate structure. In this case, the tax rate is progressive, meaning that it increases as the taxpayers' income increases. Progressive taxes are vertically equitable.
