Answer:

A. The Whiskey Rebellion was a 1794 uprising of farmers and distillers in western Pennsylvania in  protest of a whiskey tax enacted by the federal government.

Explanation:

The "whiskey Tax" is the common terms that's used by the citizens. It's not an official term from the government.

In 1791, the federal government increase the tax for all distilled alcohol products. But at the time, Whiskey was regarded as the most popular product in Pennsylvania, so many people there referred to it as 'whiskey tax'.

The tax massively reduce the income that can be generated by Farmers (who produce the barley for whiskey) and distillers (who produce the whiskey). So, a lot of them were involved in the rebellion.
