Correct answer: Both generate revenue for public services.
Explanation: Progressive and regressive describe how the tax burden is distributed across incomes, but both are revenue-raising tools used by governments. The other choices are incorrect: progressive taxes charge higher-income people more (regressive taxes do not); neither is necessarily a flat tax; and they are not both indirect taxes (progressive taxes are typically direct, while many regressive taxes—like sales taxes—are indirect).
