Solution

The correct option is D Both men favored lower taxes, championed the frontiersmen, farmers, and workers, and opposed the controversial Bank of the United States.
"both men favored lower taxes, championed the frontiersmen, farmers, and workers, and neither was afraid to indulge in Tennessee whisky," - the later half of the sentence takes an informal tone and does not fit with the rest of it. Also, what whisky Jackson and Polk preferred is irrelevant to the context of the passage. All the other options, apart from C, do not fit into this context. D also gives out incorrect information. Thus, C is the correct answer.
