Respuesta :
a tariff is a tax on imported goods, so the answer would be C.
Protective tariffs benefited American manufacturers in the early-1800s since American-made goods were less expensive than similar imported goods. Option C is correct.
Protective tariffs are enacted seeking to protect a domestic industry. Thus, they make imported goods cost more than the same goods produced domestically, so that sales of good produced in the own country rise; supporting local industry.
