Income in a single year is a very poor guide to income and wealth over even a few years, much less a lifetime; in the longer run, a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different than a tax on their income.
(A) than a tax on their income
(B) from a tax on what they earn
(C) than taxing income
(D) from the income tax
(E) than a tax on what people earn


how is " from a tax on what they earn" different from " Income tax"??

It has the same meaning. The problem here is 1)idiom - different from is the correct idiom. 2)parallelism - a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different from a tax on what they earn

IMO B

original sentence :- .............a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different than a tax on their income.

1)Different than is not a correct Idiom..it should be different from
2)Since it is a comparison, it required both sides to be parallel.. i,e a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different from a tax on what they earn - this makes the sentence parallel
Its better to burn out than to fade away
