Expert Solution
Step 1

Deadweight loss is a loss created by the inefficiency of the market and it happens when the demand and supply are not in equilibrium. 

Here in the graph, triangle A is the area which is consumer surplus and J is the producer surplus in the market. 

Then the area B+D is the area of the government's tax revenue when the tax is imposed, and because of the inefficiency of the market, there arises the deadweight loss in the market, which can be represented here by the area C+F.

Therefore the best option which fits here is Option B) which shows the area which is the  deadweight loss as C+F.
