Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The tariff revenue generated equals the tariff amount ($25) multiplied by the quantity of imports after the tariff is imposed. If the daily imports are 2 million barrels (as might be inferred from the context or figure not visible here), the revenue would be $25 * 2 million = $50 million per day.
