Answer: (D)

Tax compliance and reporting fall under tax accounting.

Tax accounting focuses on these activities to ensure accurate computations and timely submissions. Auditing is about examining financial statements and controls, cost accounting deals with measuring and analyzing costs for internal decisions, and accounting education covers teaching accounting concepts. So these tax-related tasks are best classified as tax accounting.
