The correct response is: Excise taxes caused unrest amongst farmers.
The Whiskey Rebellion was largely a reaction to the excise tax imposed on whiskey as part of Alexander Hamilton's economic policies to generate revenue for the federal government and pay off national debt. Many farmers who relied on whiskey production for income protested against this tax, leading to the rebellion.
