The correct answer is:
c. The tariff made goods produced in the North cheaper than imported goods, so more Americans would buy them.
Northerners supported Hamilton's tariff because it helped protect Northern industries by making imported goods more expensive, thereby encouraging Americans to buy domestic products instead. This benefitted Northern manufacturers and promoted economic growth in that region.
