The correct answer is *Congress could order Georgia to cancel the tax, citing the commerce clause and Gibbons v. Ogden decision.

This kind of a taxing law would be unconstitutional so it would be canceled as it was established in the Gibbons v. Ogden decision of the supreme court where it was supported that only the congress has the power to regulate interstate trading according to the commerce clause found in the constitution.
