If powerful groups take exemptions and productive groups bear the burden, this is an example of which concept?

Fiscal injustice

A fair tax system should distribute public responsibilities in a reasonably balanced way. Fiscal injustice occurs when some groups, especially powerful or privileged groups, avoid taxes while people who produce goods, work, or have fewer advantages carry most of the burden. The issue concerns government revenue and the unequal treatment connected with it.

Therefore, the situation described is fiscal injustice, so option B follows directly. Equal citizenship would mean that citizens receive equal legal status, not that taxes are unfairly distributed. Social mobility concerns movement between social positions, while universal suffrage means the broad right to vote. In late eighteenth-century France, members of the Third Estate complained that they carried major taxes while privileged estates enjoyed important exemptions. This historical background supports option B.
