Evaluate the options

• Social Security tax: A payroll tax levied on both employers and employees to fund the Social Security program, based on earned income.
• National tax: A general term for federal taxes, not a specific tax levied directly on the exchange of goods and services.
• Sales tax: A consumption tax imposed by the government on the sale of goods and services, collected by the retailer at the point of sale.
• Income tax: A tax levied directly on personal or corporate income.
