c.disappoiment
d.support​

Answer 1

B. force

Step-by-step explanation:

South Carolina was defying federal law by stating that the tariffs were unenforceable within the state’s borders. Jackson promptly declared nullification illegal and got Congress to pass the Force Act, allowing him to send eight Navy ships and 5,000 soldiers to Charleston. South Carolina, meanwhile, began to raise its own military forces.
