The correct answer is C) displays of power.

Andrew Jackson mockingly was referred to as “King Andrew the First” because of his displays of power.

Indeed it all started with a political cartoon of 1833, that depicts President Andrew Jackson as a King with a crown on his head. On one hand, he holds a veto bill. Author unknown, the cartoon appeared after Jackson exerted his veto powers against the national bank. His opponents and critics considered that Jackson was abusing his presidential powers.

His displays of power. The famous political cartoon "King Andrew the First" was a portrayal of the 7th US President as a monarch holding a veto bill and tramping on the constitution and on a list of improvements to the national bank, displaying his abuse of his presidential powers.
