The correct answer is A. True

Step-by-step explanation

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States (1829-1837) who stood out for having paid the debt of the United States. This situation arose due to the trajectory he had as a land speculator, which added to the real estate bubble of the western United States. Andrew Jackson took advantage of the housing bubble situation and sold land that was owned by the State and the money obtained by them was used to pay the debt. So, the correct answer is A. True.
