The correct response is:

D. if a state’s police force could not keep the peace

A U.S. president may send federal soldiers, or federal troops, to enforce order in a state if local authorities are unable to maintain public order, particularly during times of civil unrest or after a major disaster. This falls under the Insurrection Act or the president's authority to ensure that laws are executed and upheld.
