Anwer is (A): Alternative minimum tax

Alternative minimum tax(AMT) is not an additional tax. It is a tax that will be collected at minimum from the tax payer. If normal tax is lower than the AMT, AMT has to be paid by tax payer. Therefore if AMT is more in any year,credit can be claimed in the future years for the difference in Excess of AMT over Normal tax. Therefore, there is no additional tax burden in case of AMT.
