The Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833 reflected Andrew Jackson's policies in several ways. First, Jackson's refusal to support laws that would establish a national bank was a key aspect of his policy. He strongly opposed the idea of a centralized banking system and vetoed the rechartering of the Second Bank of the United States in 1832. This decentralized approach to banking and finance reflected his belief in limited federal government power and his preference for a more laissez-faire economic system.
Second, Jackson's support for a strong central government to enforce federal laws was evident during the Nullification Crisis. The crisis arose when the state of South Carolina sought to nullify, or declare invalid, the federal tariffs passed by Congress in 1828 and 1832. Jackson firmly believed that the federal government had the constitutional authority to enact and enforce these tariffs and was prepared to use military force to ensure compliance. He issued the Nullification Proclamation in 1832, asserting the supremacy of federal law and threatening to use the army against any state that attempted to nullify federal statutes.
Third, Jackson's stance on states' use of federal government funds also played a role in the Nullification Crisis. He strongly rejected the idea that states had the right to refuse to use federal funds or selectively enforce federal laws. Jackson believed that once federal funds were allocated to the states, it was their duty to disperse and utilize them as directed by the federal government. This viewpoint clashed with South Carolina's argument that it could selectively enforce federal laws within its borders.
Lastly, Jackson's handling of the Nullification Crisis demonstrated his prioritization of preserving the Union. While he valued states' rights and recognized the important role of state governments, he firmly believed that the Union must be preserved above all else. In his response to South Carolina's nullification attempts, Jackson made it clear that he would not tolerate secession or actions that threatened the unity of the nation. His strong stance against nullification showcased his commitment to preserving the federal government's authority and the integrity of the United States as a whole.
To summarize, the Nullification Crisis reflected Andrew Jackson's policies through his opposition to a national bank, support for a strong central government, rejection of states' refusal to use federal funds, and prioritization of the Union over states' rights.

As long as that last one reads states' rights, I think you're right.
Yes, I think D is the best answer. Jackson was a populist who said he defended states' rights, but "when push came to shove", he supported a strong executive and a strong central government.
Writeteacher is correct. :)
