D. is the answer.

Explanation:

Something primary to be considered here, is that being both fiscally conservative and socially liberal, is illogical. As economic policies have a direct impact on social justice, and every social issue has fiscal elements, what makes them economic issues as well, somehow.

Social Liberalism, in opposition to Social Conservadorism is a social philosophy that focus on equality for all members in society. That is, to guarantee (or get closer to it, as possible) same rights for every one. Recurring discussion themes are 'Same chances of professional success for men and women'; same-sex marriage and racial politics.Fiscal Conservatism (or Economic Conservatism) is the political-economic philosophy regarding fiscals policy and responsibility that focus on reduced government spending and minimal government debt. For that, they generally aim to keep the minimum wage low and tax the rich lightly, under the excuse of 'promoting business'. Spending cuts on social programs and Protectionism are also common characteristics. On the other hand, Fiscal Liberalism characteristics are Free Trade policies and investiment on social programs.
