Option: A

Explanation:

A tax credit  which would only reduce the debt of a taxpayer to zero is understood as a non-refundable tax credit. The money left from the loan would be immediately relinquished by the taxpayer and does not produce a tax refund if the future loan raises the taxable income like a refundable loan would. Often, a non-refundable benefit may be called a wastable tax credit, that can be compared with refundable tax credits.
