Sagot :
The Tariff of 1828 is the correct answer, it was a tax on imported goods. It was made to protect manufacturers in the North who couldn't compete with the low prices of British manufacturers. However, it harmed the economy in the South by forcing the South to pay more money for goods the region did not produce and making it more difficult for the South to export cotton to Britain.
The other three choices have nothing to do with taxes on imported goods, so they cannot be the correct answer. A helpful tip for future reference is that "Tariff" means a tax on imports and exports.

Answer:
The Tariff of 1828 hurt the economy in the South by taxing imported goods.
Explanation:
The Tariff of 1828 was, as the name implies, a tariff imposed by the Federal Government on the importation of industrial products from Europe. The purpose of the tariff was to promote the industrialization of the northern United States, which had an incipient industrial production, but could not compete against the already entrenched industries of Great Britain and France.
This tariff severely damaged the southern economy. This depended almost exclusively on agricultural production, so it needed specific machinery that was produced only in Europe, or was produced in the north but in inferior quality and superior price.
As a result, the southern economy was severely threatened, beginning a crisis between north and south, called the Nullification Crisis.
