The correct response is: Excise taxes caused unrest amongst farmers.
The Whiskey Rebellion was largely fueled by the excise tax on whiskey that was implemented as part of Alexander Hamilton's economic policies to help pay off national debt. Many farmers, particularly in the western frontier regions, relied on whiskey production as a source of income and were angered by this tax, leading to the rebellion.
