The correct answer is C.

The Tariff of 1816 or Dallas Tariff was established aiming to protect US manufactures from the competition exercised by imported items. Previous tariffs had been set to enhance goverment revenue, but in this case the aim changed. The tariff imposed a payment on imported goods so that their margin profit decreased, importers were forced to fix a higher market price for their products and these became less competitive than before, if compared to domestic products that did not have to incur on that extra expense.
