Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Domestic consumers of the good are the ones who do not gain when a tariff is imposed. A tariff increases the price of imported goods, which reduces competition and allows domestic producers to raise their prices as well. This results in higher prices for domestic consumers who must now pay more for the same goods. The other choices (A, B, D, and E) all benefit from a tariff in some way.
