The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The tax that applies to both long term and short term gains is capital gains tax, a fixed legal term. A tax that is imposed by law is said to be levied, which is the verb the sentence needs.

  • capital ... levied is correct because "capital gains tax" is the exact statutory term, and a tax is levied on gains.
  • lottery ... charged is wrong because there is no "lottery gains tax" split into long and short term.
  • property ... calculated is wrong because the standard term is capital gains, not "property gains tax."
  • bonus ... deducted is wrong because "bonus gains tax" is not a recognised category.

The correct word-pair is capital and levied.
