D. They were seen as a federal intrusion.
The Common Core State Standards were developed by a group of non-governmental organizations and state education chiefs. However, they were heavily promoted by the Obama administration, which provided incentives for states to adopt them. This led to criticism that the standards represented a federal intrusion into state and local education policies. Over time, opposition to the standards grew, both from those who saw them as too prescriptive and from those who viewed them as an infringement on state and local control over education. This loss of favor eventually led to many states withdrawing from the Common Core State Standards.
