Answer:

The correct answer is C: Andrew Jackson.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spoils system in politics terms is a practice where a political party gives to its supporters, friends and relatives jobs in the government after winning the electios with the excuse of rewarding the ones that struggled with the political party towards the victory.

The Jackson administration was strongly associated and principally known by the use of this patronage system, where their opponents argued that his party used this method as a way to guarantee government positions to its supporters so that theiy could earn power in the government.

It would be President "Andrew Jackson" who was strongly associated with the spoils system, although it should be noted that this system was debated long after Jackson's term was over.
