The National Assembly passes a law imposing a 15\% tax on all imports of electronic devices to raise revenue. A citizen challenges the law, arguing that it violates the Constitution's provision on exclusive legislative powers over taxation. Identify the relevant constitutional provision, explain whether the law is within the legislative competence of the National Assembly, and state the likely outcome of the challenge.

C. Section 112 gives the National Assembly exclusive taxing power; the 15 % import tax is unconstitutional, so the challenge will likely be upheld.
Correct Answer D. Section 112 gives the National Assembly exclusive taxing power; the 15 % import tax is within that competence, so the challenge will likely be dismissed.
