Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The new economic policies that were brought in and implemented by Alexander Hamilton made the farmers that produced surplus grains to pay heavy and unreasonable taxes on the production of whiskey that they undertook by distilling the surplus grains.

This caused the farmers to grow restless and criticize the new economic policies in a number of ways.
