B. the Market Revolution and the Southern expansion of slavery on cotton plantations.
Explanation:
It was a severe clash of interests between John Quincy Jones who was the President of the United States at the time and John C Calhoun who was his vice-president.
John Calhoun was from South Carolina and represented the interests of the Southerners who had huge cotton plantations with slaves working on them. Cotton was the raw material which the Southerners exported to Britain.
The President, John Quincy Adams in an effort to protect the burgeoning manufacturing industries which were predominantly in North America introduced taxes and tariffs on imported goods in a bid to encourage local manufacturing.
The tariffs didn't go down well with the Southerners as they felt that it would dampen the Southern economy.
Led by vice president Calhoun, they kicked against the tariff hike and introduced the 'Theory of Nullification' in an attempt to fight and scuttle the tariff hike.
The Theory of Nullification is a reference to the part of the American constitution which said that member states could rebel and reject federal laws which were not favorable to them.
This led to the Market Revolution and the expansion of slavery on the cotton plantations

The Gardens of Babylon were amazing engineer constructions that King Nebuchadnezzar (605 BC) built for his homesick wife to resemble the gardens of her hometown. He used slaves to construct them. They consisted of terraces raised one above another resting upon hollow pillars filled with earth to allow trees of the largest size to flourish. The technology used to build the Gardens of Babylon included water irrigation system from Euphrates River which then had to be lifted far up so it could flow down through the terraces, watering each level of plants. This was a big engineering task because it had to include a chain pump with two large wheels, one above the other; on one chain buckets were hung and as the wheel was turned, the buckets dipped into the pool and picked up water. The chain then lifted them to the upper wheel, where the buckets were tipped.
