B
Monopoly and privilege
C
Adams
D
Carl Azuz
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jackson-like Jefferson and Madison before him-thought that the Bank of the United States was unconstitutional. When Congress voted to extend the Second Bank’s charter in 1832, Jackson vetoed the bill. To explain his decision to the nation, Jackson issued this veto message on July 10, 1832.

Detailed explanation-2: -President Andrew Jackson announces that the government will no longer use the Second Bank of the United States, the country’s national bank, on September 10, 1833. He then used his executive power to remove all federal funds from the bank, in the final salvo of what is referred to as the “Bank War."

Detailed explanation-3: -The bank’s charter was unfair, Jackson argued in his veto message, because it gave the bank considerable, almost monopolistic, market power, specifically in the markets that moved financial resources around the country and into and out of other nations.
