The correct answer is:

D. He used force to remove the protestors.

During the summer of 1932 the "Bonus Army" was created.  It was composed by 43.000 marchers who gathered in Washington D.C. demanding cash-payment redemption of their service certificates. Douglas MacArthur was the one who commanded the infantry supported by six tanks. This was due to President Hoover's order of clearing the marcher's campsite.
