The Force Act of 1833:

A. created a standing federal army to deal with threats to national security.
B. provided for a police force for the District of Columbia.
C. gave the president authority to use military personnel to collect tariffs.
D. became law at the insistence of nullification supporters

Answer 1

C. gave the president authority to use military personnel to collect tariffs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Force act was enacted on March 2, 1833. It authorized the president of the U.S to enforce federal laws on collection of import duties from the states that refuse to pay using the country's military. The bill was during the nullification crisis. This arose because south Carolina had said it would treat the Tariff Acts of 1828 and 1832 as null and void. The definite goal it had was forcing South Carolina to pay federal import tariffs.
