c a professional baseball team offers free hats to the first 1,000 fans through the gate.
d a tax break is offered to homes that install energy efficient appliances.
e a grocery store limits the purchase of fish fillets on sale to two per customer.

• Option A: A "sin tax" is a government tax, not a business incentive.
• Option B: A pizzeria's "buy one, get one half price" is a business - run promotion to attract customers and increase demand.
