Explanation
★Taxpayers contribute to primary education through the educational cess, so that is the answer.
★A cess is a special levy added on to tax and earmarked for a stated purpose.
★The educational cess is collected specifically to fund education, so it directly supports primary schooling.
★Income tax is a general tax whose revenue is not tied to education alone.

★Paying for individual tuition is a private expense, so the taxpayer's specific contribution is the educational cess.
