The correct response is:
The tariff allowed manufacturers in the North to charge higher prices for their products.
This response reflects the Northern states' interest in protecting their developing industries from foreign competition, which often sold goods at lower prices. By imposing a protective tariff, it helped to limit imports, allowing Northern manufacturers to maintain higher prices for their products.
